Methyl Isobutyl Ketone → Setoperone

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3.3 parts of 6-(2-chloroethyl)-2,3-dihydro-7-methyl-5H-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-one, 3 parts of (4-fluorophenyl) (4-piperidinyl)methanone hydrochloride, 8 parts of sodium carbonate and 120 parts of 4-methyl-2-pentanone was stirred and refluxed for 20 hours using a water-separator. The reaction mixture was filtered hot over Hyflo and the filter-cake was washed with trichloromethane. The filtrate was evaporated. The residue was purified by column-chromatography over silica gel using a mixture of trichloromethane and methanol (95:5 by volume) as eluent. The pure fractions were collected and the eluent was evaporated. The residue was crystallized from a mixture of 2-propanone and 2,2'-oxybispropane, yielding 2 parts of 6-[2-[4-(4-fluorobenzoyl)-1-piperidinyl]ethyl]-2,3-dihydro-7-methyl-5H-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-one; mp. 165.6° C. (compound 1).
