Reaction Steps

3-(4-Methyl-piperazin-1-yl)-piperidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (2.25 g, 7.94 mmol) was dissolved in Methylene chloride (50.0 mL, 7.80E2 mmol) and the reaction mixture was treated with Trifluoroacetic Acid (6.0 mL, 78 mmol). The reaction was allowed to stir overnight at room temperature. The solvent was then removed en vacuo to afford 1-Methyl-4-piperidin-3-yl-piperazine as a TFA salt. The crude product contained excess TFA, which was neutralized in the next synthetic step. (M+H)=184.09.
