Reaction Steps

A mixture of 0.200 g (0.64 mmol) of 1-[3-(methylamino)propyl]-1-(4-fluorophenyl)-1,3-dihydro-2-benzofuran-5-carbonitrile (Preparation 1) and 6-methoxy-2,3,4,5-tetrahydropyridine (0.080 g, 0.71 mmol, 1.1 equiv.) was heated at 80° C. for 15 hr, cooled to rt and concentrated in vacuo to a gummy residue. The crude product was purified using column chromatography to give the title product as an off-white solid, 0.060 g (24%).
