Participants

Reaction Steps

Combine (S)-1,4-dibenzyl-2-(2-(4-methoxy-phenyl)-ethyl)-piperazine (1.34 g, 3.33 mmol), ammonium formate (1.05 g, 16.67 mmol), 5% Pd/C (161.2 mg), and ethanol (100 mL). Stir and heat the mixture at reflux. After 3 hours, cool to ambient temperature and remove the catalyst by vacuum filtration through celite. Reduce the filtrate to residue and purify it on silica gel using dichloromethane/2N ammonia in methanol (80:20) to give (689.3 mg, 94%) of the title compound as a white solid: mp 125–130° C.; mass spectrum (ion spray): m/z=221.1 (M+1); Analysis for C13H20N2O: calcd: C, 70.87; H, 9.15; N, 12.72; found: C, 70.58; H, 9.05; N, 12.61.
