Participants

Reaction Steps

0.923 g of 2-(2-{2-[2-(3-fluorophenyl)ethyl]phenoxy}ethyl)-1-methylpyrrolidine [prepared as described in step (a) above] was dissolved in 15 ml of ethyl acetate, and 0.8 ml of a 4N solution of hydrogen chloride in dioxane was added to the solution. The mixture was then concentrated by distillation under reduced pressure. The concentrate was dissolved in 25 ml of ethyl acetate, and the solution was allowed to stand at room temperature. The crystals which precipitated were collected by filtration and dried in vacuo, to give 0.585 g (yield 56%) of the title compound as colorless crystals, melting at 135°-136° C.
