Reaction Steps

0.12 mmol of (6-Ethoxy-2-fluoro-3-methanesulfonyl-phenyl)-[4-(4-methanesulfonyl-phenyl)-piperazin-1-yl]-methanone (example 55) was added to a solution of sodium cyclopentanolate (prepared from 1 mmol sodium dissolved in 1 ml of cyclopentanol). The mixture was heated for 1 hour at 80° C., poured on ice/water and extracted with ethyl acetate. Chromatography (SiO2; ethyl acetate) yielded the title compound as a slightly yellow solid. MS (m/e): 551.1 (MH+, 29%)
