In a 5 mL-volume glass flask equipped with a stirrer, a thermometer and a dropping funnel were placed under nitrogen atmosphere 314 mg (1.0 mmol) of 3-[2-cyclopropyl-4-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-quinolyl]prop-2-enenitrile (prepared in Reference Example 1), 2.25 mL of formic acid (60 mmol, mol calculated as 100% formic acid), 0.75 mL of water, and 620 mg (5.3 mmol as nickel atom) of water-containing developed Raney-nickel (NDHT-90, nickel content 50 wt. %, available from Kawaken Fine Chemical Co., Ltd.). The content was reacted at 80° C. for hours. After the reaction was complete, the content was cooled to room temperature. After addition of 9 mL of water and 9 mL of hydrochloric acid (1 mol/L), the catalyst was removed by filtration using a celite. The celite was washed with two portions of 2-butanol (1 mL) and two portions of toluene (9 mL). The organic portion was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The dried organic portion was filtered and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to give 307 mg (yield 91%) of 3-[2-cyclopropyl-4-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-quinolyl]prop-2-enal as yellow solid (purity 97%, in terms of an area percent according to high performance liquid chromatography).
