Reaction Steps

49.86 (0.30 mol) of 1-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-methylpropan-1-one, prepared by a Friedel-Crafts reaction from isobutyryl chloride with fluorobenzene analogously to European Patent Application No. 3,002, and 25.5 g (0.30 mol) of piperidine are dissolved in 120 ml of dimethyl sulfoxide, and the solution is heated to 110° C. together with 41.5 g (0.30 mol) of potassium carbonate. After 16 hours of stirring at 110° C. the suspension is cooled down and is poured onto an ice-water mixture. The crystals are filtered off, are washed with water and are recrystallised from hexane.
