반응 단계

1,2-Phenylenediacetonitrile (7.5 g, 48 mmol) dissolved in ethanol (150 ml) was added to Raney Ni (2 g) which had been previously washed with ethanol (3×20 ml). The mixture was then hydrogenated at 50° C. at 50 psi pressure with shaking for 24 h. The reaction mixture was then cooled to room temperature and filtered through a pad of kieselguhr and washed through with ethanol (100 ml). The filtrate was evaporated in vacuo to give a brown oil which was chromatographed on silica gel (100 g), eluting with 2-10% methanol in CH2Cl2 to give the title compound as a brown oil (2.45 g, 35%).
