Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2.7 g of 4-chloro-4'-fluorobutyrophenone, 2.5 g of α-methyl-α-(4-piperidyl)-p-fluorobenzyl alcohol, 8 g of sodium carbonate, a crystal of sodium iodide and 30 ml of 4-methyl-2-pentanone is stirred and refluxed for 72 hours. The reaction mixture is worked up in the usual manner as described in the previous Examples. The product is isolated as described above and recrystallized from isopropanol to afford the 4'-fluoro-4-[4-(α-hydroxy-α-methyl-p-fluorobenzyl)-piperidino]-butyrophenone, melting at 116°-118°.
