A 2.0 g portion of 10% palladium on carbon was added, the mixture was refluxed overnight and then filtered. The filtrate was evaporated, 5 ml of saturated aqueous potassium bicarbonate was added to the residue and this was extracted several times with dichloromethane. The extracts were combined, dried, filtered and evaporated, giving a gum which solidified on standing, giving 1.02 g of N,N-dimethyl-2-piperazinemethanamine.
