Procedure
To a solution of the azide (41.0 g, 0.256 mol) in methanol (250 mL) was added Pd/C (10%, 4.1 g) and the mixture was hydrogenated at 30 psi on a Parr shaker. The mixture was filtered through celite and the cake was washed with methanol. The combined filtrates were evaporated and the residual oil was distilled (Kugelrohr, bp 115–140° C. @ 0.2 Torr) to provide 26.8 g (71%) of 8-amino-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinoline (AMD7488) as a pale yellow oil. 1H NMR (MeOH-d4) δ 1.81–1.98 (m, 2H), 2.03–2.15 (m, 1H), 2.38–2.46 (m, 1H), 2.88–2.92 (m, 2H), 4.41 (dd, 1H, J=9.3, 6.3 Hz), 7.30 (dd, 1H, J=7.5, 4.5 Hz), 7.62 (d, 1H, J=7.5 Hz), 8.47 (d, 1H, J=4.5 Hz); 13C NMR (MeOH-d4) δ 21.12, 28.72, 28.89, 52.28, 124.86, 134.35, 138.96, 148.49, 152.57.
