Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-cyano benzoic acid (500 g, 3.4 mol) and Raney Nickel (100 g) in methanol (5 L) was hydrogenated at a pressure of 10 kg for 16 h. The catalyst was removed by filtration, followed by the removal of the solvent under reduced pressure to afford 4-(aminomethyl)benzoic acid (430 g, 84%) as a white solid.
