Sulfuric Acid → HCID 19883507, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 14.07 parts of N,N-diethyl-2-[[1-[3-(4-fluorophenoxy)propyl]-4-,4-dimethoxy-3-piperidinyl]-oxy]ethanamine dihydrochloride, 7.36 parts of a sulfuric acid solution 96% and 500 parts of water was stirred and refluxed for 17 hours. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool and washed with 2,2'-oxybispropane. The aqueous phase was separated and alkalized with sodium carbonate. The product was extracted with dichloromethane. The extract was dried, filtered and evaporated. The residue was purified by column-chromatography over silica gel using a mixture of trichloromethane and methanol (95:5 by volume) saturated with ammonia, as eluent. The pure fractions were collected and the eluent was evaporated, yielding 8.0 parts (75%) of 3-[2-(diethylamino)-ethoxy]-1-[3-(4-fluorophenoxy)propyl]-4-piperidinone a residue (intermediate 120).
