Acetone → 1-Boc-4-isopropylpiperazine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Acetone (1.47 mL) and 10% palladium-carbon (50% wet, 186 mg) were added to piperazine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (1.862 g) in methanol (20 mL), and the resultant mixture was stirred in a hydrogen atmosphere at room temperature for 10 hours. Acetone (1.47 mL) was added thereto, and the mixture was stirred in a hydrogen atmosphere at room temperature for 36 hours. The catalyst was filtered off. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, to thereby give the title compound as an oily product (2.253 g, 98%).
