Participants

Reaction Steps

Add n-butyl lithium (1.6 M in hexanes, 4.3 mL) into a solution of 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-piperidine (0.97 g) in THF (10 mL) at −78° C. and stir for 30 minutes. Add a solution of 1-methyl-4-(N-(2-fluorophenyl)methylamino)piperidine (Preparation 23, 1.02 g) in THF (10 mL) portionwise and stir for 10 minutes. Add 1,2-dibromo-1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane (1.50 g) in THF (10 mL) dropwise and stir for 1 hr. Remove the cooling bath and stir for 30 minutes. Partition between ethyl acetate and saturated aqueous NaCl, dry over anhydrous sodium sulfate, evaporate and purify on a silica gel column (110 g), using a gradient of dichloromethane-2M NH3 in methanol to give 0.49 g of the title intermediate.
