Potassium Carbonate → HCID 10342570, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A stirred mixture of 6-chloro-3-(4-piperidinyl)-1,2 benzisoxazole (4.6 g, 19 mmol), l-[4-(2-chloroethoxy)-3-methoxyphenyl]ethanone (4.3 g, 19 mmol), K2CO3 (2.8 g), a few crystals of KI and acetonitrile (120 ml) was refluxed for 16 hours. The reaction was filtered and the filtrate was concentrated to yield 8.0 g of yellow solid. The solid was chromatographed on a Waters Prep 500 LC (silica columns, eluting with methylene chloride/methanol, 5%). Concentration of the appropriate fractions yielded 3.2 g of a light yellow solid, which upon recrystallization from ethyl acetate afforded 2.3 g (28%) of 1-[4-[2-[4-(6-chloro-1,2-benzisoxazol-3-yl)-1-piperidinyl]ethoxy]-3-methoxyphenylethanone as a pale yellow solid, m.p.=133°-135° C.
