Potassium Iodide → HCID 13319856, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5 g 3-(3-chloropropyl)-6-fluoro-1,2-benzisoxazole, 5 g of 4-benzylpiperidine, 10 g of potassium carbonate and a few crystals potassium iodide in 50 ml of dimethylformamide was stirred at 70° for 4.5 hr. The mixture was cooled, filtered and concentrated to an oil. The oil was stirred with water and extracted with ether. The organic extracts were washed with water (2×), saturated sodium chloride solution and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. The residue was treated with ethereal hydrogen chloride to give a salt. The salt was immediate rebasified to give an oil, which was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, tetrahydrofuran). The purified oil was treated with ethereal hydrogen chloride, and the resultant salt was recrystallized from ethyl acetate/methanol to give 2.8 g (31%) of product, mp 188°-189° C.
