Procedure

To a mixture of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-quinoline (20.0 g, 0.15 mol) dissolved in H2SO4 (98%, 150 mL), KNO3 (18.2 g, 0.18 mol) was slowly added at 0° C. The reaction was allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred over night. The mixture was then poured into ice-water and basified with sat. NaHCO3 solution to pH 8. After extraction with CH2Cl2, the combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated. The residue was purified by column chromatography (petroleum ether-EtOAc, 10:1) to give 7-nitro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-quinoline (6.6 g, 25%).
