Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6-hydroxy-2-piperidinomethyltetralin hydrochloride (205 mg, Reference Example 19) and 2-chloromethylbenzothiazole (183 mg) in DMF (10 ml) was added potassium carbonate (327 mg) and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 days and further at 60° C. for 7 hr. The reaction mixture was diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water and saturated aqueous sodium chloride, dried, and concentrated. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent: ethyl acetate:methanol=10:1), alumina column chromatography (eluent: ethyl acetate:hexane=1:4) and converted into its hydrochloride, which was recrystallized from methanol-ethyl acetate to obtain the titled compound (158 mg).
