46 ml of 2.4M n-butyllithium are added over a 15 minute span to a mixture cooled to -70° C. of 17.5 g of 2-bromofluorobenzene and 50 ml of tetrahydrofuran. After total addition, the reaction mixture is stirred at between -60° to -70° C. for 15 minutes to enable complete lithiation, which results in a tan colored solution. A mixture of 11.3 g of 1-methyl-4-piperidone in 20 ml of tetrahydrofuran is added to the solution at a rate to maintain the reaction medium's temperature below -60° C. After total addition, the reaction mixture is stirred at the same low temperature for one hour before being permitted to warm to ambient temperature. Water is added and the biphasic mixture is permitted to separate into its organic and aqueous phases. The organic phase is collected and the aqueous phase is extracted thrice with ether and the ether extracts are combined with the organic phase. The combined organic solution is extracted with an excess of 2N hydrochloric acid and then discarded. The acidic solution is basified with ammonium hydroxide, producing a heavy oil which is dissolved in a 1:1 ethyl acetate ether mixture. This solution is dried and then concentrated to dryness, leaving a viscous oil which crystallizes with cooling. The solid product is recrystallized from a benzene-hexane mixture to give prisms, mp 127°-129° C. of 4-(2-fluorophenyl)-4-hydroxy-1-methylpiperidine.
