Procedure

A solution of 10.5 g of 4-(6-bromohex-3-enyl)benzonitrile in 200 ml of absolute ethanol was hydrogenated in the presence of 0.25 g of platinum oxide catalyst. Isolation of the product afforded 10.4 g of 4-(6-bromohexyl)benzonitrile as a yellow oil which was distilled at 168°-170° C.(0.01 mm) to produce the compound as a colorless oil which solidfied upon cooling.
