Reaction Steps

Excess Raney Nickel in an ethanol slurry was added to a solution of 1-cyano-cyclohexanecarboxylic acid ethyl ester in ethanol under a nitrogen atmosphere. The nitrogen atmosphere was replaced with excess hydrogen gas and the mixture was allowed to stir overnight. The reaction mixture was filtered through celite and the solvent was removed. The compound was clean enough to continue without purification. 80% yield. MH+=186.2.
