Reaction Steps

To 3-tert-butylbenzonitrile (400 mg) in MeOH (5 mL), aqueous ammonium hydroxide (1 mL) and Raney Nickel (catalytic) were added and the reaction mixture was hydrogenated at 50 psi for 2 h. Then the reaction mixture was filtered and solvent evaporated. (3-tert-butylphenyl)methanamine was used without any purification.
