Methanol → 4-Fluoro-2-(2-morpholin-2-yl-2-phenylpropyl)phenol hydrochloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

Sodium thiomethoxide (13 eq, 186 mg) was added at once to a solution of 2-{2-[5-fluoro-2-(methyloxy)phenyl]-1-methyl-1-phenylethyl}morpholine hydrochloride (75.2 mg, 0.204 mmol, synthesized as described in Example 8 above) in anydrous DMF (3 ml) in a microwave vessel. Upon addition, the reaction vessel was sealed and heated up in a CEM-Discovery microwave at 150 Watts, reaching 110° C. in 5 minutes and maintaining this temperature 6 minutes. The reaction vessel was cooled to room temperature and the reaction mixture taken into methanol (5 ml) and purified by SCX-2 chromatography to obtain the free base as clear oil (50 mg). The hydrochloride salt was obtained following general procedures as a white solid (52 mg, 72% after salt formation.).
