Reaction Steps

To a stirred suspension of sodium hydride (0.37 g, 7 mmol of a 50% oil dispersion) in dimethylformiamide (20 ml) was added, dropwise, 1-[4-[3-[4-(6-fluoro-1,2-benzisoxazol-3-yl)-1-piperidinyl]propylamino]-3-hydroxyphenyl]ethanone (2.9 g, 7 mmol) dissolved in dimethylformamide (25 ml). The reaction was stirred at ambient temperature for 15 minutes, and then it was cooled with an ice bath to about 5° C., whereupon methyl iodide (1.0 g, 7 mmol) in dimethylformamide (1 ml) was added dropwise. The reaction was stirred at ambient temperature for 30 min, and then water was added. The resulting aqueous mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate, the extract washed with water, dried (MgSO4), and the solvent was concentrated to afford 4.9 g of a brown oil, which solidified on standing. The solid was flash chromatographed on silica gel. The appropriate fractions were concentrated to yield 2.7 g of product as a yellow solid. Recrystallization from toluene-hexane yielded 2.0 g (67%) of analytically pare 1-[4-[3-[4-(6-fluoro-1,2-benzisoxazol-3-yl)-1-piperidinyl]propylaminol-3-methoxyphenyl]ethanone as a yellow solid, m.p.=96-98° C.
