Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-Boc-2(S)-ethyl-4-benzyl-5(R)-methylpiperazine (A36; 13.6 g, 43 mmol), glacial acetic acid (2.5 mL) and 10% Pd/C (4.5 g) in methanol (150 mL) was shaken under H2 atmosphere (50 psi) for 24 h. The mixture was filtered through Celite® and the filter cake was washed copiously with EtOAc (˜500 mL). The combined filtrates were dried over anhydrous MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford a clear colorless oil. Further co-evaporation with CH2Cl2 (200 mL) and Et2O (2×200 mL) gave the desired 1-Boc-2(S)-ethyl-5(R)-methylpiperazine acetic acid salt (A37, 9.7 g) as a viscous oil.
