Reaction Steps

A mixture of 6-fluoro-3-(4-piperidinyl)-1,2-benzisoxazole (2.3 g, 10.3mmol), KCO3 (1.4 g, 10.3mmol), 1-[4-(3-chloropropoxy)-3-(methylamino)phenyl]ethanone (2.5 g, 10.3mmol), KI (0.10 g), and acetonitrile (100 ml) was stirred at reflux under nitrogen for 23hours. The reaction was cooled to ambient temperature, poured into water, and the aqueous mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate extract was washed twice with water, dried with MgSO4 and was concentrated to yield 4.8 g of a damp, brown solid. The compound was isolated by preparative HPLC (Waters Associates prep LC/System 500, utilizing 2 silica gel columns and 4% methanol-methylene chloride as eluent). Concentration of appropriate fractions afforded 2.4 g. Recrystallization from ethanol gave 2.1 g of 1-[4-[3-[4-(6-fluoro-1,2-benzisoxazol-3-yl)-1-piperidinyl]propoxy]-3-(methylamino)phenyl]ethanone as a beige solid, m.p.=151°-153° C.
