Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-benzylpiperazine (4.4 g), tert-butyl N-(2-oxoethyl)carbamate (3.8 g) and acetic acid (1.7 ml) in 1,2-dichloroethane (50 ml) was added sodium triacetoxyborohydride (8.1 g) under ice-cooling. The reaction mixture was mixed at room temperature for 2 days. Then, the reaction solution washed with an aqueous potassium carbonate solution and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure, and the residue was dissolved in methanol (50 ml). A 4 N solution of hydrogen chloride in ethanol (40 ml) was added thereto, and mixed at room temperature for 5 hours. The precipitate was collected by filtration and washed with diethyl ether and hexane to obtain the title compound (5.0 g, 61%).
