The reduction is carried out at a pressure of 3-5 kg/cm2 of hydrogen and a temperature of 50°-60°C. After cooling, one adds a sufficient quantity of water to dissolve the entire mass, then one filters off the catalyst. One evaporates the filtrate to the dry state. The residue is extracted by means of ether so as to remove the aniline. One washes, with acetone, the clear brown compound that is obtained.
