Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A slurry was produced by charging 25 g of 5-[2-[4-(1,2-benzisothiazol-3-yl)-1-piperazinyl]ethyl]-6-chloro-1,3-dihydro-2H-indol-2-one and 375 mL of water to a 500 mL, three-neck, round-bottom flask equipped with a heating mantle, an overhead mechanical stirrer, a condenser, and a temperature probe. The flask contents were protected from light with an aluminum foil cover. The slurry was heated to 50-55° C. while stirring. Methanesulfonic acid (5 mL) was added slowly through a dropping funnel to the reaction mixture. Thickening of the slurry and lightening of the slurry color were observed. The reaction was heated to reflux (about 100° C.) and allowed to stir for about one hour. The heat was removed to allow slow cooling of the reaction with stirring. The reaction solution was allowed to stir under ambient conditions for about one hour. The product was isolated on a Buchner funnel with a paper filter and the solids were allowed to dry under ambient conditions to a Karl Fischer value of about 6.2%. The yield was 32.11 g of product. The purity of the product, as determined by HPLC (conditions in Table 5), was 98.7%.
