Procedure

To a solution of 25.00 g (0.1093 mol) of 1-(2′-methoxyphenyl)piperazine hydrochloride in 42 mL of water was added 14.5 mL (0.109 mol) of concentrated (29.4%) NH4OH (aq) (pH=9). The mixture was extracted twice with 250 mL of 1:1 (v/v) of THF:toluene. The organic extracts were combined, dried over MgSO4, gravity filtered and concentrated to afford 20.17 g (96.00%) of 1-(2′-methoxyphenyl)piperazine as a pale green oil:
