A solution of 5-aminoisoquinoline (20 g) in glacial acetic acid (500 ml) was shaken under hydrogen in the presence of a platinum oxide catalyst (2.0 g) at room temperature and approximately 345 kilopascals pressure until uptake of hydrogen stopped. The catalyst was removed by filtration and the filtrate was evaporated to a small volume under reduced pressure. Residual solvent was removed by co-evaporation with water, then isopropyl alcohol, and the resulting solid was recrystallized from isopropyl alcohol to give 5-amino-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline as a white solid, 19 g, m.p. 153°-154° C.
