Procedure

1-Boc-4-[(3-pyridinyl)acetyl]piperazine (8.0 g, 26.2 mmol) was added to a solution of borane-THF (2.0 M in THF, 39.5 mL, 78.6 mmol) in THF (200 mL) at 0° C. The mixture was heated to reflux for 8 h and cooled to room temperature. The excess borane was quenched with methanol and 3 N HCl. The mixture stirred for 3 h at room temperature, and the solvents were removed under vacuum. The crude product was purified by chromatography (SiO2, 4:1 CH2Cl2:CMA) to provide 1-[2-(3-pyridinyl)ethyl]piperazine (2.82 g, 36%) as a light yellow oil.
