Reaction Steps

m-Nitroacetophenone (66.0 g., 0.40 mole), water containing 0.70 mole phosphoric acid (300 ml.), and 5% palladium on carbon (2.0 g.) were hydrogenated as in Example II until hydrogen absorption ceased (2 hours). Work-up after neutralization with 1.40 moles potassium hydroxide gave m-amino-α-methylbenzyl alcohol in 75% yield which was 99% pure by GLC and contained 0.8% m-ethylaniline.
