Potassium Carbonate → HCID 21959990, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-(6-fluoro-1,2-benzisoxazol-3-yl)piperidine (5 g, 22.7 mmol), K2CO3 (3.8 g, 27.5 mmol) and ethyl bromopropionate (5 g, 27.6 mmol, 1.2 eq) in acetonitrile (200 ml) was heated at reflux for 16 hours. The mixture was cooled and filtered. The solvent was removed, and the residue was purified on a flash chromatography column (60 g, SiO2, eluted with DCM). The material thus purified weighed 7.27 g (83%). The fumarate salt was prepared by treatment of the free base (2.17 g) with fumaric acid (820 mg, 1.0 eq) in ethanol. Recrystallization from ethanol yielded 2.49 g of white crystals, m.p.=135°-136° C.
