Procedure

A mixture of diethyl 2-(4-(piperazin-1-yl)benzyl)-2-methylmalonate (500 mg, 1.43 mmol), formaldehyde (2 ml) and formic acid (2 ml) was heated at reflux for 2 h. The reaction mixture was concentrated and partitioned between saturated sodium bicarbonate solution and ethyl acetate. The organic layer was separated and washed with water, brine solution, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to afford 400 mg (86.8%) of diethyl 2-(4-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)benzyl)-2-methylmalonate as brown oil.
