Procedure
A mixture of 4-(4-pyrrolidin-1-ylcarbonylbenzyl)-nitrobenzene (202 mg, 065 mmol), 10% palladium on carbon (110 mg), and ethanol (20 mL) was hydrogenated at 40 psi for 16 hours. The mixture was filtered through a Celite pad, and solvents evaporated to give 4-[4-(1-pyrrolidinecarbonyl)benzyl]-phenylamine as a white solid (187 mg, 99%).
