Reaction Steps

A solution of 0.74 g (0.005 mol) of p-cyanophenethyl alcohol in 50 ml of ethanol containing 10 ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid was hydrogenated at 30 psi using 0.1 g 5% Pd/C for 72 hours. The catalyst was removed by filtration and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure.
