Procedure
90 g of 4-(3'-phenyl-propylthio)-nitrobenzene is catalytically hydrogenated in 300 ml. of dimethylformamide with Raney nickel. After completion of the hydrogen absorption and removal of the catalyst and the solvent, there is obtained 4-(3'-phenyl-propylthio)-aniline as an oily residue, which can be used without purification in the next reaction stage.
