Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of the compound (1.09 g) obtained in step 2 in ethyl acetate (8 mL) was added 4N hydrogen chloride/ethyl acetate (8 mL), and the mixture was stirred at 50° C. for 2 hr. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was dissolved in a mixture of ethyl acetate and acetonitrile. This solution was washed with 1N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution and dried, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to give 4-bromo-N-[(3R,4R)-3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)piperidin-4-yl]-N-methylbenzamide (0.830 g, 93%) as a white powder.
