Procedure
To a solution of 3′,3′,6-trimethyl-5-nitro-1′,2′,3′,6′-tetrahydro-3,4′-bipyridine [HCl] (1.12 g, 3.50 mmol) in DCM (55 mL) were added formaldehyde (37% in water, 4.0 mL) and sodium triacetoxyborohydride (4.45 g, 21.0 mmol). The reaction mixture was allowed to stir for 2 h at rt. The mixture was quenched by the addition of sat. aq. sodium bicarbonate (40 mL). After stirring for 10 min, the aqueous solution was extracted with DCM. The organic solutions were combined, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. The residue was purified by column chromatography to give 1′,3′,3′,6-tetramethyl-5-nitro-1′,2′,3′,6′-tetrahydro-3,4′-bipyridine (0.914 g, 100%). LCMS (FA): Rt=0.85 min, m/z=262.4 (M+H).
