1-(4-Benzylpiperazin-1-yl)piperidin-2-one → 1-Piperazin-1-ylpiperidin-2-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-(4-benzylpiperazin-1-yl)piperidin-2-one (1.0 g) obtained in Example 8a) in methanol (15 mL) was added 20% palladium hydroxide on carbon (containing 50% water, 0.20 g), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 15 hours under a hydrogen atmosphere. The reaction mixture was filtered, and the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure to obtain the title compound (0.65 g, 97%) as a yellow solid.
