Reaction Steps

A solution of n-buthyllithium in hexane (80.0 ml of a 1.6 M solution) was added dropwise to a solution of N-(4-fluoro-phenyl)-2,2-dimethyl-propionamide (10.0 g) in dry THF (200 ml) at −5° C. under a N2 atmosphere over 15 min. The resulting solution was stirred at 0° C. for 2 hours, and then a solution of 1-benzyl-piperidin-4-one (9.20 ml) in THF (20 ml) was added dropwise to the above solution of the dianion at 0° C. over a 1 hour period. The reaction mixture was stirred for 2 hours at 0° C. and then overnight at r.t. The solution was the poured into ice water, made acidic with conc. HCl and extracted with ethyl acetate. The water layer was made basic and extracted three times with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were washed with water, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was subjected to silica gel chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate:triethyl amine 49:49:2) to afford the title product (8.3 g). M.p. 172-173° C.; Retention Time HPLC 1.47 min; MS (ES+) 385 (M+H+).
