Reaction Steps

4-({1-[4-(Tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yloxy)phenyl]piperidin-4-yl}methyl)phenol (1.10 g, 3.0 mmol), cesium carbonate (0.977 g, 3.0 mmol), N-methylpyrrolidinone (5 ml), 1-bromo-4-(trifluoromethoxy)benzene (0.723 g, 2.99 mmol) and dipivaloylmethane (0.3 g, 1.5 mmol) were mixed, and the atmosphere was replaced with nitrogen. Copper chloride (0.030 g, 0.3 mmol) was added thereto and stirred at 120° C. for 24 hours. An ammonium chloride aqueous solution was added to the reaction mixture, followed by extraction with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=75:25) to afford the title compound as a colorless powder (0.84 g, 53%).
