Procedure

0.289 g of Ru/C (5%) are added to a solution comprising 3.00 g (17.31 mmol) 2-[1,1′-Bi(cyclopropyl)-2-yl]anilin in 20 ml of tetrahydrofuran, and the mixture is hydrogenated with 100 bar of hydrogen at 120° C. for 20 hours. After cooling to room temperature, the catalyst is filtered off through Celite 545 and the product is concentrated under reduced pressure. This gives 3.01 g (96%) of 2-[1,1′-Bi(cyclopropyl)-2-yl]cyclohexanamine having a purity of 96% according to MSD-HPLC.
