The synthesis of the 7-amino-5,6,6a,13-tetrahydroquino[2,1-c][1,4]benzodiazepine 7 starting from the readily available 1-(2-nitrobenzyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline 1 is described. The two key steps are an electrochemical cyanation and a deprotection-cyclization between an amino group and the cyano substituent.
