Participants

Reaction Steps

The same procedure as used to prepare 1-methyl-4-[3-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy]-1-azetidinylcarbonyl]-piperazine oxalate [1:1.5] was followed except the free base was converted to the fumarate salt (instead of the oxalate salt) by dissolving the residue obtained from work-up in 5 ml of isopropanol and treating this solution with 1.2 g of fumaric acid dissolved in 25 ml of boiling isopropanol. The cooled mixture yielded 1.3 g of white product. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo and the resulting solid was combined with the 1.3 g of product previously obtained. Recrystallization from isopropanol/isopropyl ether gave 3.3 (91.8%) of fine white crystals, m.p. 132°-133° C.
