Maleic Acid → HCID 178505429, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of N-[2-[4-(6-fluoro-1H-indazol-3-yl)-1-piperidinyl]ethyl]phthalimide hydrochloride (Example 183) (3.1 g, 7.91 mmol) in THF (100 ml) was added lithium aluminum hydride (16.6 ml of a 1.0M solution in THF, 16.6 mmol) at room temperature, under nitrogen. The reaction mixture was warmed to reflux for 6.5 hours and cooled to room temperature. The reaction was quenched with water (1.5 ml, dropwise) and the precipitated salts were removed via filtration. The solids were washed with DCM and the combined filtrates concentrated to give 2.5 g of the crude product as a solid. The dimaleate salt was prepared in methanol using 3.5 g (>4.0 e.q.) of maleic acid. The light green precipitate was collected via filtration and washed with methanol. Recrystallization from methanol gave 2.1 g of the desired product as an off-white solid, m.p. 196°-199° C.
