Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of tert-butyl (3R)-3-(methoxymethyl)piperazine-1-carboxylate (206 mg), methanol (3.09 mL), and a 36% aqueous formaldehyde solution (187 mg) was added 10% palladium-supported carbon (50% wet product) (76 mg), followed by stirring at room temperature for 4 hours under a hydrogen gas atmosphere (1 atm). The reactant was filtered through celite and then the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to obtain tert-butyl (3R)-3-(methoxymethyl)-4-methylpiperazine-1-carboxylate (231 mg) as an oily material.
