Ethanol and Raney nickel (Aldrich) were added to 2-cyanomethyl-3-fluoro-benzoic acid methyl ester (3.3 g, 17 mmol) to carry out catalytic reduction under ordinary pressure at 50° C. for 7 hours and then at room temperature for 15 hours. Raney nickel was removed from the reaction solution by filtration, the solvent was removed by evaporation under a reduced pressure, and the thus obtained material was separated and purified by a silica gel column chromatography to obtain 2.1 g (13 mmol, 74% in yield) of the title compound.
