Procedure: 2-(3-Chloropropan-1-yl)oxybenzonitrile (503 mg) was added, at room temperature, to an acetonitrile solution (20 ml) of N-(piperidin-4-yl)-5-thia-1,8b-diazaacenaphthylene-4-carboxamide dihydrochloride (800 mg), 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]-7-undecene (662 mg), triethylamine (1.09 g) and sodium iodide (285 mg). The mixture was heated under reflux for 7.5 hours under nitrogen atmosphere. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. To the concentrate was added water, which was subjected to extraction with chloroform. The extract solution was washed with a saturated aqueous saline solution, which was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, followed by concentration under reduced pressure. The concentrate was purified by means of a silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate/methanol=2/1) to afford the object compound (816 mg, 83%) as a reddish purple oily product. The mixture was heated under reflux for 7.5 hours under nitrogen atmosphere The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure To the concentrate was added water, which was subjected to extraction with chloroform The extract solution was washed with a saturated aqueous saline solution, which was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate followed by concentration under reduced pressure The concentrate was purified by means of a silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate/methanol=2/1)

Procedure: A mixture of 7.41 g (0.025 mole) of [4-[bis(4-fluorophenyl)methyl]piperidine, 4.90 g (0.025 mole) of 2-(3-chloropropoxy)benzonitrile, and potassium carbonate, 5.54 g (0.04 mole) was heated overnight at reflux in 350 ml of 1-butanol containing potassium iodide (0.2 g). The mixture was concentrated to dryness and the resulting residue was partitioned several times between water and chloroform. The chloroform layer was dried (anhydrous sodium sulfate), filtered, and solvent removed to give a brown oil. The oil was triturated with ethyl ether and placed in a freezer overnight. White crystals were obtained and dried in vacuo overnight at room temperature. A yield of 5.15 g (46.1%) of analytically pure material, m.p. 88.5°-90° C., was obtained. was heated overnight The mixture was concentrated to dryness the resulting residue was partitioned several times between water and chloroform The chloroform layer was dried (anhydrous sodium sulfate) filtered solvent removed to give a brown oil The oil was triturated with ethyl ether White crystals were obtained dried in vacuo overnight at room temperature A yield of 5.15 g (46.1%) of analytically pure material, m.p. 88.5°-90° C., was obtained

Procedure: A mixture of 2-cyanophenol (50.0 g, 0.42 mole), 1-bromo-3-chloropropane (67.7 g, 0.43 mole), and potassium carbonate (58.0 g, 0.42 mole) was heated overnight at gentle reflux in 500 ml of acetone. The reaction mixture was stripped to dryness and the residue was dissolved in chloroform. The chloroform layer was extracted several times with 5% sodium hydroxide. The chloroform layer was dried (anhydrous sodium sulfate), filtered, and the solvent was removed, to give a brown oil (80.09 g). A ten gram portion of this oil was subjected to flash chromatography on silica gel with 10% ethyl acetate-hexanes and 20% ethyl acetate-hexanes used for elution. Fractions were combined and solvent removed in vacuo. The clear oil obtained was dried 18 hrs in vacuo at room temperature and 8 hrs at 80° C. in vacuo. This furnished 5.24 g (50.0% yield--based on aliquot taken) of clear oil. 1H HMR (CDCl3); δ 2.1-2.5 (q, 2, --CH2), 3.8 (t, 2, --ClCH2), 4.2 (t, 2, --OCH2), 6.9 (m, 2, aromatic protons ortho and para to ether), 7.5 (m, 2, aromatic protons ortho and para to CN group). was heated overnight The chloroform layer was extracted several times with 5% sodium hydroxide The chloroform layer was dried (anhydrous sodium sulfate) filtered the solvent was removed
