Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-fluorobenzonitrile (0.38 g), 4-(5-methoxypentyloxy)piperidine (0.62 g) and potassium carbonate (0.87 g) in DMF (8 ml) was stirred at 90-95° C. for 6 hours. The reaction mixture was poured into water (50 ml) and extracted twice with a mixture of ethyl acetate and n-hexane (50 ml: 20 ml). The extracts were combined, washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride, dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated in vacuo. The resulting residue was chromatographed on silica gel (100 ml) eluting with a mixture of n-hexane and ethyl acetate (5:1 v/v-2:1 v/v). The fractions containing the desired compound were collected and evaporated under reduced pressure to give 4-(5-methoxypentyloxy)-N-(4-cyanophenyl)piperidine (294 mg).
