Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-(1-ethylpiperidin-4-yl)-2-fluorobenzamide (0.46 g, 1.83 mmol) in dry N,N-dimethylformamide (4 ml) was added freshly distilled phosphoryl trichloride (0.42 ml, 4.57 mmol) and the reaction mixture was stirred for 1 h. The solution was poured on to ice and was made basic by addition of aqueous sodium carbonate (10%, 50 ml). Ethyl acetate (50 ml) was added and the phases were separated. The aqueous phase was extracted with ethyl acetate (2×50 ml) and the combined organic phases was dried (MgSO4) and evaporated under reduced pressure to give an oil. Purification by flash column chromatography (ethyl acetate/methanol, 1:1) gave the title compound: 0.32 g (75%). The amine was converted to the oxalic acid salt and recrystallized from ethanol/diethyl ether: M.p. 156-158° C. MS m/z (relative intensity, 70 eV) 232 (M+, 12), 218 (14), 217 (bp), 147 (10), 134 (13).
