Reaction Steps

(3′-Chloro-biphenyl-4-yl)-piperidine-4-yl-methanone hydrochloride (2, 23.4 kg, 69.6 mol), 2-chloropyrimidine (8.9 kg, 1.3 equiv), and 325-mesh potassium carbonate (25 kg, 3 equiv) were mixed in acetonitrile (211 L) in a 100-gallon reactor. The batch was heated with agitation at 55-65° C. for 16 h. The batch was then cooled to 20-30° C., followed by the addition of water (70 L) and further stirred for 15 min. The batch was transferred to a 300-gallon reactor and rinsed with water (360 L) to afford a thick white suspension. After stirring for 2 h, the batch was filtered and washed with water (2×70 L) and dried to constant weight at 45-55° C. to afford crude compound 3 (23.5 kg, 89.5% yield, >99% purity) as a white crystalline solid.
