Reaction Steps

Isopropylmagnesium chloride (2M tetrahydrofuran solution) (11.73 ml) was added to a tetrahydrofuran solution (20 ml) of 4-iodobenzotrifluoride (3.45 ml, 23.5 mmol) dropwise at −10° C. under an argon atmosphere. The mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 5 minutes and further stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. After cooling the mixture to −10° C., a tetrahydrofuran solution (40 ml) of 1-(4-benzyloxyphenyl)piperidin-4-one (6 g, 21.3 mmol) was added thereto dropwise. While gradually returning to room temperature, the mixture was stirred. After 10 hours, a saturated ammonium chloride aqueous solution/ice water was poured into the mixture, followed by extraction with ethyl acetate. The result was washed with water and a saturated sodium chloride aqueous solution and dried over sodium sulfate. After removing the desiccant by filtration, the solvent was distilled off. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=75:25→66:34). The resultant was washed with a mixed solvent of isopropyl ether and hexane and filtered to afford the title compound as a white powder (6.69 g, 73%).
