Procedure

To (RS)-2-(methoxy-methyl-carbamoyl)-piperazine-1-carboxylic acid benzyl ester, D52 (3 g, 10 mmol) in 1,2-dichloroethane (50 ml) was added formaldehyde (0.85 ml of 37% w/w solution in water, 11 mmol) and the mixture stirred at ambient temperature for 0.75 h. Sodium triacetoxyborohydride (2.55 g, 12 mmol) was added portionwise over 0.25 h, and the resulting mixture stirred at ambient temperature for 18 h. The reaction was partitioned between dichloromethane (300 ml) and 1M sodium hydroxide (100 ml). The aqueous was re-extracted with dichloromethane (250 ml) and the combined extracts dried (Na2SO4) and the solvent removed in vacuo. The residue was chromatographed on silica gel eluting with ethyl acetate-hexane mixtures to afford the title product (3 g, 96%) as a gum.
