3-Nitroacetophenone is brominated in the α-position, the bromination product is reduced by means of sodium borohydride to the corresponding bromohydride and this is treated with ammonia. There is obtained rac.-α-(aminomethyl)-3-nitrobenzyl alcohol which melts at 107°-108° (softening from 105°) after crystallization from ethyl acetate-ether.
