Reaction Steps

A mixture of 6-fluoro-3-(4-piperidinyl)-1,2-benzisoxazole (4.7 g, 21 mmoles), K2CO3 (3.5 g, 25.4 mmoles) and 2-mesyloxyethyl-1,4-benzodioxan (5.5 g, 21.3 mmoles) in acetonitrile (250 ml) was heated at reflux for 3.5 hours. At the end of the reaction, insolubles were filtered. The solid was washed with dichloromethane (200 ml). The solutions were combined and evaporated to an oil. This crude oil was purified by flash chromatography on a silica gel column. The material thus obtained was crystallized from ethanol. The 2-[4-(6-fluoro-1,2-benzisoxazol-3-yl)-1-piperidinyl]ethyl]-1,4-benzodioxan crystals were collected and weighed 3.8 g, 48%, m.p.=112°-113° C.
