The reaction mixture is poured into ice-water, followed by extraction with dichloromethane. The organic layer is washed with water, dried and the solvent is distilled off under reduced pressure. Crystals obtained from the residue are recrystallized from ethyl acetate and hexane to afford methyl 4-(3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoyl)piperazine-2-carboxylate (9.6 g) as colorless needles, m.p. 113-114° C.
