Reaction Steps

4-[2-fluoro-3-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl]-1-propylpiperidine (0.45 g, 1.52 mmol) was dissolved in a solution of ammonia in methanol (7 M, 15 ml). The mixture was heated to 160° C. in a sealed tube under microwave radiation for 20 h. The solvent was evaporated and the crude product was purified on a preparative HPLC-system. Yield: 0.125 g (30%). The amine was converted to the hydrochloric acid salt and recrystallized from ethanol/diethyl ether: M.p. 232-233° C. MS m/z (relative intensity, 70 eV) 296 (M+, 22), 267 (bp), 224 (31), 130 (23) 117 (20).
