Reaction Steps

3-(3-pyridyl)-nitrobenzene (9.1 g, 45.5 mmol) in ethanol (125 ml) is hydrogenated at ambient pressure for 1.75 hours using Raney Nickel as the catalyst. Filtration of the resulting solution through celite followed by evaporation of solvent quantitatively yields 3-(3-pyridyl)aniline.
