Procedure

A stirred solution/suspension of 1-(4-methylnaphthalen-1-yl)-3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane (85 mg, 0.38 mmol) in 1,2-dichloromethane (12 mL) was treated with 37% aqueous formaldehyde (0.23 mL, 3.0 mmol), then with sodium triacetoxyborohydride (318 mg, 1.5 mmol), stirred for 3 h, then treated with 1N sodium hydroxide (5 mL). The organic layer was separated and the aqueous solution was extracted with methylene chloride containing 2-propanol (2×10 mL). The combined organic solution was dried (MgSO4) and concentrated in vacuo to afford 1-(4-methylnaphthalen-1-yl)-3-methyl-3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane (76 mg, 84%, essentially pure without chromatography). This was dissolved in anhydrous ether (5 mL) and treated with 2N HCl/ether (0.35 mL, 0.7 mmol), stirred a few minutes, filtered, rinsed with ether, collected, and dried in vacuo to afford 1-(4-methylnaphthalen-1-yl)-3-methyl-3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane, hydrochloride (72 mg, 82%) as a white solid.
