Reaction Steps

102 g of 4-acetoxyacetophenone and 10 g of Raney nickel catalyst are charged in a 300-ml stirred reactor. The reactor is then charged with hydrogen at 500 psig and heated to 60° C. for 270 minutes. The reactor is then cooled down and the product analyzed by gas chromatography. The analysis gives 80.4% 4-acetoxyphenyl methylcarbinol.
