Potassium Carbonate → 6,7-Dimethoxy-2-[3-[4-(6-fluoro-1,2-benzisoxazol-3-yl)-1-piperidinyl]-2-hydroxy-1-propyl]1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline

Participants

Reaction Steps

A stirred mixture of 1-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-4-(6-fluoro-1,2-benzisoxazol-3-yl)piperidine (3.2 g, 11.6 mmol), K2CO3 (2 gm, 1.25 eq) and 6,7-dimethoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline hydrochloride (3.3 g, 1.25 eq) in isopropyl alcohol (200 ml) was heated at reflux for 6 hours. The mixture was cooled and filtered. The solvent was removed to about 50 ml and the solution was allowed to stand overnight. The mother liquor was concentrated to a white solid. Recrystallization twice from ethanol yielded the product (1.95 g, m.p. 153°-154° C. ANALYSIS: Calculated for C26H32FN3O4: 66.51%C 6.87%H 8.95%N Found: 66.51%C 7.05%H 8.83%N
