Reaction Steps

Rac-cis-1-{4-[1-(3,5-Bis-trifluoromethyl-benzoyl)-3-phenyl-piperidin-4-yl]-piperazin-1-yl}-2,2,2-trifluoro-ethanone (4.15 g, 7.14 mmol) was dissolved in methanol (25 mL). Water (1 mL) and potassium carbonate (2.96 g, 21.4 mmol) were added and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 h. Water (100 mL) was added and the mixture was extracted twice with 200 mL methylene chloride. Organic phases were pooled and dried with magnesium sulfate. Evaporation of the solvent gave the title compound (3.4 g, 98%) as a white foam which was used without any further purification, MS: m/e=486.3 (M+H+).
