The Beheras amine was synthesized through the reduction of aliphatic nitro-group using hydrazine hydrate as source of hydrogen and T-1 Ranney Ni as catalyst in boiling methanol. With short reaction time, the method is easy to handle, and can substitute for the method at present. The second generation nitro-compound was synthesized, which was then reduced with the same method to give the second generation of Beharas amine.
