Participants

Reaction Steps

13.42 g of phenyl 3-methyl-3-nitrobutane-1-sulfonate were dissolved in 40 ml of MeOH, and 2.9 g of Raney nickel which had been washed until neutral were added. Hydrogenation was carried out under a pressure of 5 bar of hydrogen at RT for 20 hours. The catalyst was then filtered off and the solvent was removed in vacuo. 11.58 g of an amorphous solid were obtained.
