Procedure
A mixture of 21 parts of ethyl 2-methyl-4-(phenylmethyl)-1-piperazinecarboxylate and 200 parts of methanol was hydrogenated at normal pressure and at room temperature with 3 parts of palladium-on-charcoal catalyst 10%. After the calculated amount of hydrogen was taken up, the catalyst was filtered off and the filtrate was evaporated. The residue was distilled twice, yielding 23 parts (100%) of ethyl 2-methyl-1-piperazinecarboxylate; bp. 95°-98° C. at 66.5 pa (int. 37).
