Reaction Steps

Preparation according to Example 1: 4-[2-fluoro-3-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl]-piperidine (0.185 g, 0.72 mmol), acetonitrile (10 ml), potassium carbonate (0.2 g, 1.44 mmol) 1-iodoethane (0.06 ml, 0.75 mmol). Yield: 0.15 g (73%). The amine was converted to several different salts and recrystallized from ethanol/diethyl ether. Hydrochloric acid salt m.p. 273-275° C., hydrobromic acid salt m.p. 267-268° C., fumaric acid salt m.p. 204-206° C., oxalic acid salt m.p. 163-165° C., sulfate salt m.p. 263-265° C., maleic acid salt m.p. 112-113° C. MS m/z (relative intensity, 70 eV) 285 (M+, 12), 271 (15), 270 (bp), 147 (7) 133 (8).
