Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of (R)-tert-butyl 4-acetyl-2-methylpiperazine-1-carboxylate (1.34 g, 5.53 mmol) and TFA (10 mL, 130 mmol) in DCM (30 mL) was stirred at rt for 45 min, then concentrated, diluted with DCM, and then concentrated again which was repeated 3 times. Dried under high vacuum at 80° C. to give (R)-1-(3-methylpiperazin-1-yl)ethanone 2,2,2-trifluoroacetate (1.95 g). MS (ESI+) m/z 143.0 (M+H)+.
