Hydrochloric Acid → cis-2-[4-[4-(6-Fluoro-1,2-benzisoxazol-3-yl)-1-piperidinyl]butyl]hexahydro-1H-isoindole-1,3-dione hydrochloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-(4-aminobutyl)-4-(6-fluoro-1,2-benzisoxazol-3-yl)piperidine (4.7 g, 16.1 mmoles) and cis-1,2-cyclohexanedicarboxylic anhydride (3.23 g, 21 mmoles) in pyridine (45 ml) was heated at reflux for 8 hours. At the end of the reaction, pyridine was removed to dryness. The crude product was purified on a silica gel column. The material thus obtained weighed 3.18 g (45%) as a clear oil. This oil was dissolved in ethanol (15 ml), then was treated with HCl in ethanol (45 ml). Crystallization took place upon cooling. The crystals were collected, 3.2 g, m.p.=229°-231° C.
