Reaction Steps

A solution of 2a,3,4,5-Tetrahydro-2H-3-aza-acenaphthylen-1-one (2 g, 11.5 mmol) in 6 N hydrochloric acid (150 ml) containing 10% Pd/C was hydrogenated at 50 psi of H2 for 24 h. The catalyst was filtered, the solution was basified with 20% NaOH and extracted with dichloromethane (3×150 ml). The organic layers were dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated to dryness to afford a colorless oil (1.6 g, 85% yield) identified as 1,2,2a,3,4,5-Hexahydro-3-aza-acenaphthylene. The addition of 2.8 N hydrochloric acid in ethanol yielded the hydrochloride as a white solid, which was collected by filtration.
