A 5 liter autoclave is charged with 180 g of 1-[cyano(4-methoxyphenyl)methyl]cyclohexanol, 2400 ml of methanol, 600 ml of aqueous ammonia (25% by volume) and 135 g of Raney nickel (pretreated as given under 1a)) and the mixture is subjected to hydrogenation at 27 to 30° C. and 120 psi pressure of hydrogen for 9 to 10 hours. The reaction mixture is filtered through 100 g of the celite and the catalyst bed is washed with 700 ml of methanol. The filtrate is concentrated to get 167.1 g of the crude product as an oily residue. 1.1 g of the crude product is dissolved in 2 ml of dry ethyl acetate and about 2 ml of isopropanolic HCl are added (the pH of the solution is about 2). The solvent is removed at high vacuum to give 1.14 g of 1-[2-amino-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethyl]cyclohexanol hydrochloride.
