In a 500-mL Parr shaker vessel, Raney nickel (750 mg) was added to MeOH (30 mL). Ethyl 1-cyanocyclopropanecarboxylate (Aldrich; 2.0 g, 14.38 mmol) was added and the resulting mixture was shaken vigorously under an H2 atmosphere (50 psi) for 24 h. The mixture was subsequently filtered through Celite, washing the Celite pad with MeOH (2×20 mL). The combined filtrates were concentrated in vacuo to provide ethyl 1-(aminomethyl)cyclopropanecarboxylate (1.5 g, 10.48 mmol, 73% yield): 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 4.13 (q, 2H, J=7.2 Hz), 3.67 (s, 1H), 3.44 (s, 1H), 2.74 (br s, 2H), 1.27-1.21 (m, 5H), 0.80-0.74 (m, 2H). m/z (ESI, +ve) 144.4 (M+H)+.
