Procedure
3.2 g 2-(1-trityl-1H-imidazol-4-yl)-propionitrile are dissolved in 150 mL methanolic ammonia (7 mol/L) and Raney nickel is added. After 12 h and 4 bar H2 pressure the catalyst is filtered off and the solvent is eliminated in vacuo. This crude product is used in the following reaction step without further purification.
