Hydrochloric Acid → Ethyl 3-[4-(6-Fluoro-1,2-benzisothiazol-3-yl)-1-piperidinyl]propionate hydrochloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 6-fluoro-3-(4-piperidinyl)-1,2-benzisothiazole (6.0 g, 25 mmol), ethyl 3-bromopropionate (4.5 g, 25 mmol), K2CO 3 (3.5 g) and CH3CN (100 ml) was stirred and refluxed for 16 hours. The reaction was poured into H2O, and after extractive workup with EtOAc, 6.0 g of an orange oil was realized. The oil was dissolved in Et2O and ethereal HCl was added to precipitate 6.3 g of a white hydrochloride salt. The salt was recrystallized from CH3CN to yield 6.0 g (64%) of the desired compound. An analytical sample was obtained by recrystallization of a 1.0 g sample from EtOH-Et2O to yield 0.8 g of a white solid, m.p.=197°-199° C.
