Procedure

A mixture of 1-benzyl-3R-methylpiperazine-2-one (XX, 4.36 g), lithium aluminum hydride (LAH, 2.33 g) and THF (125 ml) is heated at reflux for 16 hr. After cooling to 20-25°, the mixture is quenched slowly with water (2.3 ml), sodium hydroxide (10%, 3.5 ml) and water (5.7 ml). The residue is diluted with ether (100 ml) and is stirred for 1 hr. The solids are filtered and washed successively with ether, methylene chloride and ether. The combined filtrates are dried over potassium carbonate, filtered and concentrated to give 1-benzyl-(3R)-methylpiperazine (XXI), sufficiently pure to be carried on crude, NMR (CDCl3) 7.2-7.4, 3.49, 2.7-3.0, 1.95-2.1, 1.66, 1.3-1.7 and 1.01 δ.
