Reaction Steps

To a solution of piperazin-2-one (1, 0.5 g, 5 mmol) and acetone (0.58 g, 10 mmol) in 1,2-dichloroethane (20 mL) was added sodium triacetoxyborohydride (3.18 g, 15.0 mmol) and the mixture was heated at 70° C. for 2 h. The mixture was diluted with EtOAc/saturated Na2CO3 (100/50 mL), washed with brine (20 mL), dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated to afford the crude title compound (0.56 g, 79%).
