Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

0.295 g (0.926 mmol) of 4-(4-methylsulfonylaminobenzoyl)piperidine hydrochloride and 0.380 g (4.52 mmol) of sodium hydrogencarbonate were suspended in 4 ml of dimethylformamide and the suspension was stirred at 85° C. for 40 min. 0.20 g (1.04 mmol) of 4-(3-chloropropyl)pyridine hydrochloride and 0.31 g (1.87 mmol) of potassium iodide were added to the suspension and the mixture was stirred at 85° C. for 1.5 h. The liquid reaction mixture was filtered and the filtrate was concentrated. The obtained residue was purified according to silica gel column chromatography (chloroform:methanol:aqueous ammonia=96:4:0.4). The purified product was converted into its hydrochloride with ethanolic hydrogen chloride and recrystallized from ethanol to obtain 0.288 g (66%) of the intended compound.
