Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-[4-(6-fluoro-1 H-3-indazolyl)-1-piperidinyl]ethylamine (6.1 g, 23.3 mmol) in DMF (230 ml) was added 4-fluorophthalic anhydride (4.2 g, 25.5 mmol) at room temperature under nitrogen. The reaction mixture was warmed to 80° C. for 2.5 hours at which time it was allowed to cool to room temperature. The DMF was removed under reduced pressure to give a brown oil which was dissolved into DCM/MeOH. Purification via flash column chromatography (silica gel, 2% MeOH/DCM) afforded 3.6 g of the desired product as a white solid. The maleate salt was prepared in methanol (75 ml) using maleic acid (2.1 eq.). The precipitated salt was collected via filtration and recrystallized from acetonitrile to give a white solid, m.p. 193°-195° C.
