Participants

Reaction Steps

Preparation according to Example 1: 1-[2-fluoro-3-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl]piperazine (0.13 g, 0.52 mmol), acetonitrile (4 ml), potassium carbonate (0.14 g, 1.1 mmol) and iodoethane (0.48 ml, 0.52 mmol). Yield: 0.09 g (60%). The amine was converted to the hydrochloric acid salt and recrystallized from ethanol/diethyl ether: M.p. 214-216° C. MS m/z (relative intensity, 70 eV) 286 (M+, 59), 272 (14), 271 (87), 201 (11), 57 (bp).
