We report measurements of branching fractions for charged and neutral $Bto eta_c K$ decays where the $eta_c$ meson is reconstructed in the $K_S^0 K^{pm}pi^{mp}, K^+ K^- pi^0, K^{*0} K^-pi^+$ and $p bar{p}$ decay channels. The neutral $B^0$ channel is a CP eigenstate and can be used to measure the CP violation parameter $sin 2phi_1$. We also report the first observation of the $B^0to eta_c K^{*0}$ mode. The results are based on an analysis of 29.1 fb$^{-1}$ of data collected by the Belle detector at KEKB.
