DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial application] The present invention relates to a method for producing N-ethylpiperazine represented by the following formula. N-Ethylpiperazine is a useful compound, which has been in increasing demand in recent years, as a main raw material for pharmaceutical raw materials, particularly antibacterial agents.

(1) A method of obtaining N-ethylpiperazine by reacting diethanolamine and ethylamine in the presence of heteropolyacid in an autoclave under high temperature and high pressure. (JP-A-58-35
No. 179) (2) A method of reacting piperazine and ethanol in the presence of Raney nickel catalyst and hydrogen. (West German Patent Publication No. 34
The method using the first heteropolyacid as a catalyst requires high-pressure and high-pressure conditions, and therefore has many difficulties in industrial implementation. In addition, the method of reacting the second ethanol is not a method that is satisfactory in terms of yield because a large amount of diethylpiperazine is produced as a by-product.

[Means for Solving Problems] Generally, as a method for producing an N-alkylamine,
In addition to the method described in the section of the prior art, a method of reductively alkylating an amine with an aldehyde, a method of reacting an amine with an alkylating agent such as an alkyl halide, a reaction of an amine with an amine in a reducing atmosphere, and deammonification A method of producing an N-alkylamine by the reaction and the like can be considered.
However, in the case of N-alkylpiperazine, due to the peculiarities such as that the piperazine is a secondary amine compound and that it must have reaction selectivity so that it is alkylated on only one of the amines on both ends, I tried the methods but none of them yielded satisfactory results. The present inventors
As a result of further earnest research, it was found that N-ethylpiperazine can be obtained in good yield by reacting amine with acetonitrile in a reducing atmosphere, and completed the present invention.

The present invention can be carried out in the presence of a solvent or without a solvent. In the case of no solvent, acetonitrile itself acts as a solvent, so it is necessary to use a large amount. As the solvent used in the present invention, any solvent can be used as long as it dissolves piperazine and is inert to the reaction. Specific examples include water and alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, isopropanol and butanol, and dioxane.
