Participants

Reaction Steps

370 mg of N1-(3-fluorobenzyl)-2-[1-[2-(2-methoxy-3-pyridyl)ethyl]-2-piperidyl]acetamide obtained in Example 177, 0.44 ml of thionyl chloride and 5 ml of ethanol were stirred at 100° C. for 2 hours. The solvent was evaporated, and to the residue was added an aqueous sodium bicarbonate. The mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate, and dried over sodium sulfate.
