Methyl chloroformate → HCID 21758341, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-[4-(6-fluoro-1,2-benzisoxazol-3-yl)-1-piperidinyl]ethylamine (2.0 gm, 7.6 mmol) and triethylamine (1.0 gm, 10 mmol) in DCM (50 ml) was treated with methyl chloroformate (860 mg, 9.12 mmol) dropwise at room temperature. The mixture was stirred for 1 hr. The reaction mixture was diluted with DCM and washed with brine. The organic solution was dried over MgSO4 and concentrated to a crude oil. The purification was done by flash chromatography over a silica gel columns(28 gm of Sorbsil C-30, eluted with DCM and MeOH/DCM). The pure oil thus obtained weighed 2.34 gm. It was converted to a fumarate salt by treatment with fumaric acid (840 mg, 1.0 eq) in ethanol. Crystallization was induced by adding drops of isopropyl ether, yield: 2.31 gm, m.p.=163°-165° C.
