Reaction Steps

A tripotassium phosphate (0.44 g, 2.1 mmol) was added to a solution of 2-[2-(Benzyloxy)ethyl]-2-methyloxirane (1.00 g, 5.2 mmol) and 4-{4-[4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenethyl]piperidin-1-yl}phenol (2.28 g, 6.2 mmol) in ethanol (10 ml), and then the mixture was heated at reflux overnight. Water was added to the reaction mixture, followed by extraction with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with a saturated sodium chloride aqueous solution, dried over sodium sulfate, and concentrated. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=100:0→50:50) to afford the title compound as a brown powder (2.43 g, 86%).
