Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-methyl-4-(piperidin-4-yl)piperazine (4.2 g, 22.91 mmol) in anhydrous DMF (40 mL) was added 4-fluoro-2-methoxy-1-nitrobenzene (3.92 g, 22.91 mmol) and potassium carbonate (3.80 g, 27.5 mmol). This suspension was heated at 70° C. overnight. After cooling, the reaction mixture was concentrated, and the residue partitioned between ethyl acetate and brine. The aqueous phase was extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic phases were concentrated. The residue was separated by flash chromatography (0-15% 2% ammonium hydroxide MeOH solution in dichloromethane) to give 6.88 g of the title compound. Yield: 90%.
