Potassium Iodide → HCID 14407141, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-[bis(4-fluorophenyl)methyl]piperidine (free base 6.90 g, 0.024 mole), 1,3-dichloro-2-(3-chloropropoxy)benzene (5.72 g, 0.024 mole), and potassium carbonate (5.54 g, 0.04 mole) was heated overnight at gentle reflux in 350 m l of 1-butanol containing potassium iodide (0.2 g). The reaction was concentrated to dryness. The residue was partitioned several times between chloroform and water. The chloroform layer was dried, filtered, and solvent removed to give an oil. The oil was placed in the refrigerator overnight in 50 ml of methanol. A white solid was obtained and dried in vacuo overnight at 80° C. A yield of 3.26 g (27.7%) of white, crystalline solid, m.p. 101.5°-103° C., was obtained.
