Acetonitrile → N-[3-[4-(6-Fluoro-1,2-benzisoxazol-3yl)-1-piperidinyl]propyl]-6-acetyl-2-benzoxazolinone

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 6-fluoro-3-(4-piperidinyl)-1,2-benzisoxazole (2.0 g, 9 mmol), N-(3-chloropropyl)-6-acetyl-2-benzoxazolinone (2.4 g, 9 mmol), K2CO3 (3.6 g), a few crystals of KI, and acetonitrile (50 ml) was stirred and refluxed for 13 hours. The reaction was poured into water, and a dark, brown solid that separated was collected to afford 3.3 g of crude product. The solid was chromatographed on a Waters Prep 500 HPLC. Concentration of appropriate fractions afforded 2.3 g of a yellow solid, and recrystallization from ethyl acetate yielded 1.2 g (31%) of N-[3-[4-(6-fluoro-1,2-benzisoxazol-3-yl)-1-piperidinyl]propyl]-6-acetyl-2- benzoxazolinone, m.p.=152°-154° C.
