After filtration and washing of the catalyst by methanol, the filtrate was evaporated under vacuo then distilled. There were obtained 30 parts of N-ethyl-2-aminomethyl-3-azabicyclo (3,3,0) octane, B.P./0.25-0.30 mm Hg : 88°-90° C. This reduction can be easily carried out with lithium aluminium hydride too.
