Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 0.53 g (1.5 mmol) of N-(3-aminophenyl)-2-[4-(4-fluoro-benzyl)-piperidin-1-yl]-oxo-acetamide (Example 16), 0.15 ml (1.5 mmol) of benzaldehyde, 0.18 ml (3 mmol) of acetic acid in 15 ml of dichloroethane 0.48 g (2.25 mmol) of sodium triacetoxyborohydride is added in small portions below 20° C., and the reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. Then 30 ml of 8% sodium hydrogencarbonate solution is added to the mixture, the organic layer is separated and the water phase is extracted three times with 30 ml of chloroform. The combined organic layers are dried over sodium sulfate, concentrated and the residue is treated with 2.5 N hydrochloric acid in ethylacetate to yield 0.39 g (54%) of the title compound. Melting Point: 206-213° C. (dec.) (ethyl acetate)
