Reaction Steps

The 1-(4-methylphenyl)-2-methyl-2-nitropropane (1.3 g) was hydrogenated for 5 hours at 65 p.s.i. hydrogen in ethanol (30 mL) using 1.4 g of Raney nickel as catalyst. Removal of the catalyst by filtration and evaporation of the solvent yielded 1.15 g of 1,1-dimethyl-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethylamine as a clear oil.
