Reaction Steps

To a stirred mixture of 1-(3-amino-2-hydroxypropyl-4-(6-fluoro-1,2-benzisoxazol3-yl)piperidine (2.24 g, 7.6 mmol), K2CO3 (1.61 g, 11.7 mmol) in acetonitrile (100 ml) was added α,α'-dibromo-o-xylene (1.54 g, 6.1 mmol). The mixture was heated at reflux for 4 hours then cooled. The insolubles were filtered. The dark red solution was concentrated down. The residue was purified by flash chromatography over s silica gel column (SiO2, 30 g; eluted with 1% CH3OH in dichloromethane). The product so obtained weighed 940 mg as an oil. This oil was dissolved in ethanol and was treated with a solution of HCl in ethanol (188 mg of AcCl in ethanol). The dark solids were collected and recrystallized again in ethanol to yield off-white crystals (1.01 g), m.p. 240°-243° C.
