Reaktionsschritte

After 4.98 g (16.45 mmol) of 4-[(4-chlorophenyl)-2-pyridylmethoxy]piperidine and 3.85 g (19.74 mmol) of ethyl 4-bromobutanoate were dissolved in 35 ml of acetone, 2.73 g (19.75 mmol) of potassium carbonate was added to the mixed solution, and the mixture was stirred under reflux by heating for 4 hours. The insolubles were filtered off, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was separated by silica gel column chromatography using a solvent mixture of chloroform and methanol in the volume ratio of 30:1 as an eluent. The desired fraction was concentrated under reduced pressure to give 6.26 g (91%) of ethyl 4-[4-[(4-chlorophenyl)-2-pyridylmethoxy]-1-piperidyl]-butanoate as an oil.
