Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred mixture of sodium ethoxide (0.14 g, 1.0 mmol) in ethanol (2 mL) was added 2-(4-chloro-2-isoxazol-5-yl-phenoxy)-1-[4-(4-fluoro-benzyl)-(2R,5S)-2,5-dimethyl-piperazin-1-yl]-ethanone (0.465 g, 1.0 mmol) in ethanol (3 mL). The resulting mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 3 hours. To the reaction was then added 3M hydrochloric acid (2 mL) and the resulting solution was poured into water (30 mL). This was extracted with ethyl acetate and the organic layer was washed with brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. Flash chromatography on silica gel gave the title compound (0.34 g).
