Reaction Steps

A solution of 12.2 g of 4-hydroxymethyl-piperidine-hydrochloride, 9.8 g of 4-fluorobenzonitrile and 28.3 ml of N-ethyl-diisopropylamine is heated to 140° C. for 4 hours. After cooling, it is chromatographed over silica gel using methylene chloride and methylene chloride/ethyl acetate (1:1) as eluant. After the solvent has been removed under reduced pressure the residue remaining is triturated with petroleum ether and suction filtered. Yield: 5.1 g (29% of theory), Melting point: 148°-150° C.
