In a 2 L pressure jar, under inert atmosphere, 196 g (733 mmoles) of ethyl 3-(3-chlorophenyl)-4-nitrobutanoate 377 are dissolved in 200 ml of ethanol. A suspension of 200 g of predried (3×, ethanol) Raney Nickel in 700 ml of ethanol is added and the mixture hydrogenated on a Parr hydrogenator at a maximum of 20 psi H2 pressure (STRONGLY EXOTHERMIC REACTION, ice/water cooling required). The mixture is degassed, filtered on a Celite/Norite pad, and the filtrate concentrated in vacuo, to give 136.7 g of crude 378, 78% yield, used as such in the next step.
