Procedure
A mixture of 1,1-dimethylethyl (2S)-4-[(4-aminophenyl)methyl]-2-methyl-1-piperazinecarboxylate (D2) (7.45 g, 24.43 mmol), paraformaldehyde (2.202 g, 73.28 mmol) and sodium methoxide (6.597 g, 122.13 mmol) in methanol (150 mL) under an argon atmosphere was heated at 50° C. over-weekend. After cooling, sodium borohydride (1.848 g, 48.85 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture was heated at 50° C. for 1 h then cooled to room temperature. Acetone was added until no more bubbling was observed, then the mixture was concentrated. The residue was partitioned between DCM and water and the aqueous was re-extracted with DCM. The combined organics were diluted with MeOH (approx. 20 mL) to aid solubility, dried and concentrated to yield the title compound as an off white solid (7.77 g)
