Acetonitrile → HCID 10387589, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 6-fluoro-3-(4-piperidinyl)-1,2-benzisoxazole (2.5 g, 11.5 mmol), 6-(3-chloropropoxy)-5-methoxyindole (2.5 g, 10.4 mmol), K2CO3 (1.6 g, 11.5 mmol), KI (200 mg) and acetonitrile (100 ml) was stirred at reflux under nitrogen for 40 hours. The cooled reaction was poured into water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate extract was washed with water, washed with brine, dried with MgSO4, and concentrated to yield 4.0 g of a solid. The compound was recrystallized from ethanol to afford 3.3 g. Another recrystallization from ethanol (utilizing a charcoal treatment) provided 2.9 g (66%) of 6-fluoro-3-[1-[3-[(5-methoxy-1H-indol-6-yl)oxy]-propyl]-4-piperidinyl]-1,2-benzisoxzole as a beige solid, m.p.=156°-158° C.
