Reaction Steps

Benzyl bromide (3.1 cm3) was added at room temperature to a stirred solution of 2-[2-(4-pyridyl)ethyl]isothiazolidine-1,1-dioxide (4.9 g) in ethanol (30 cm3) and the mixture was heated under reflux for 3 hours. After cooling to room temperature, water (30 cm3) was added followed by sodium borohydride (1.2 g) and the mixture was stirred for 1 hour. Volatile material was removed in vacuo and the residue was treated with 2M hydrochloric acid to pH1, followed by neutralisation with sodium carbonate solution and subsequent extraction with chloroform (3×100 cm3). The dried (MgSO4) chloroform extract was evaporated to give an oil which was chromatographed on silica ("Merck" 60.9385) eluting with methanol:chloroform, 1:49, to give 2-[2-(1-benzyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyrid-4-yl)ethyl]isothiazolidine-1,1-dioxide as an oil (4.5 g).
