Procedure

In a 4 liter three-necked flask fitted with a mechanical stirrer and a reflux condenser, were placed 1500 ml of water, 150 g of sodium hydroxide (pellets), 190 ml of ethanol and 180 g of phenylacetone. The mixture was stirred and heated to 80° C., and 150 g of Raney alloy was added very cautiously by small amounts over about 1 hour. During the addition, heating was discontinued and the temperature was maintained at 85°-87° C.
