Procedure

(+/−) Tert-butyl 3-(hydroxymethyl)piperazine-1-carboxylate (3.07 g, 14.19 mmol), oxetan-3-one (1.820 mL, 28.4 mmol), AcOH (1.625 mL, 28.4 mmol), and 4 Å molecular sieves were taken up in DCM (16 mL) and MeOH (16.00 mL), and the reaction was stirred at room temperature overnight. Sodium cyanoborohydride (4.46 g, 71.0 mmol) was added and the reaction was stirred at room temperature for 2 h. The reaction mixture was filtered through celite, rinsing with MeOH. The solvent was removed in vacuo and the material was quenched with 2M K3PO4 solution, and then extracted 2× with EtOAc. The organic layers were combined, dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated. The material was purified by flash column chromatography (0-8% MeOH/DCM). (+/−) Tert-butyl 3-(hydroxymethyl)-4-(oxetan-3-yl)piperazine-1-carboxylate (2.40 g) was obtained as a colorless oil.
