Procedure: A mixture of N-(1-benzylpiperidin-4-yl)-N-methylamine (XXVII, 4.80 g) and 2-bromo-3-ethoxypyridine (XXVIIIa, 2.3805 g) is placed in a metal, screw cap reaction vessel using dichloromethane as the transfer solvent. Reduced pressure is applied to the vessel with heating at 50° to 60° for 45 min to remove dichloromethane. The vessel is then sealed and heated at 160 to 165° for 2 days. After cooling, the resulting solids are dissolved in dichloromethane and washed with water and saline. The organic phases are dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure to give the product, which is chromatographed (silica gel; eluting with ethyl acetate/hexane (30/70) followed by ethyl acetate/hexane (50/50)), to give N-(1-benzylpiperidin-4-yl)-N-(3-ethoxypyridin-2-yl)-methylamine (XXVIII, Chart G); MS (m/z) 325; IR (neat) 1462, 1211, 1481, 1589 and 1450 cm-1. cap reaction vessel with heating at 50° to 60° for 45 min to remove dichloromethane The vessel is then sealed heated at 160 to 165° for 2 days After cooling the resulting solids are dissolved in dichloromethane washed with water and saline The organic phases are dried over magnesium sulfate concentrated under reduced pressure to give the product, which is chromatographed (silica gel; eluting with ethyl acetate/hexane (30/70) followed by ethyl acetate/hexane (50/50))

Procedure: A mixture of 1-benzyl-4-piperidone (XXV, Chart G, 24.5 mL, 0.1295 mol), N-methylamine hydrochloride (44.75 g, 0.6628 mol) and methanol (50 ml) is stirred for 35 minutes at 20-25°, at which time additional methanol (10 ml) is added. The mixture is then cooled in an ice bath and a solution of sodium cyanoborohydride (9.1749 g, 0.1460 mol) in methanol (68 ml) is added to the mixture. The mixture is stirred for 5 min and then is allowed to warm to 20-25°. After 1.25 hr the mixture is concentrated under reduced pressure and saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate is added. After stirring for 1 hr, the mixture is extracted with dichloromethane and the organic phases are combined, backwashed with saline, dried with magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure to give (XXVII). The material is upgraded by forming the dihydrochloride salt and collecting the resulting solids. The dihydrochloride salt is further upgraded by trituration with dichloromethane. The free base (XXVII) is recovered by slurrying the dihydrochloride salt (7.5204 g, 0.02713 mol) in dichloromethane and adding enough saturated sodium bicarbonate to dissolve all the solids and then extracting the aqueous layer exhaustively with dichloromethane to obtain N-(1-benzylpiperidin-4yl)-N-methylamine (XXVII), MS (m/z) 204; IR (neat) 2942, 2796, 2775, 743 and 2749 cm-1. is added The mixture is then cooled in an ice bath to warm to 20-25° After 1.25 hr the mixture is concentrated under reduced pressure and saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate is added After stirring for 1 hr the mixture is extracted with dichloromethane dried with magnesium sulfate concentrated under reduced pressure

Procedure: 1-Benzyl-4-methylaminopiperidine (EXAMPLE 9, 5.34 g, 25.9 mmol), 2,6-dichloro-3-nitropyridine (5.0 g, 25.9 mmol), and potassium carbonate (4.3 g, 31.1 mmol) in 100 ml acetonitrile are stirred at 20°-25° for 20 hr. The mixture is poured in water and extracted with chloroform. The extract is dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and evaporated to give the crude product. Chromatography (silica gel, 300 g; with 15-25% ethyl acetate in hexane) gives the title compound, NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) 7.92, 7.19, 6.47, 4.23, 3.40, 2.86, 4.23, 3.40, 2.86, 2.57, 2.02 and 1.69-1.71δ. extracted with chloroform The extract is dried over sodium sulfate filtered evaporated to give the crude product

Procedure: 2,5-Difluoronitrobenzene (2.69 ml, 24.84 mmol), 1-benzyl-4-methylaminopiperidine (EXAMPLE 9, 5.00 g, 24.84 mmol), and potassium carbonate (4.12 g, 29.81 mmol) are refluxed in acetonitrile for 21 hr. The mixture is then poured into water and extracted with chloroform. The extract is dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. The concentrate is chromatographed (silica gel; ethyl acetate/hexane) to give the title compound, NMR (300 MHz, CD3OD) 7.45, 7.37, 7.29, 3.46, 2.99, 2.87, 2.64, 1.98 and 1.67δ. extracted with chloroform The extract is dried over sodium sulfate filtered concentrated The concentrate is chromatographed (silica gel; ethyl acetate/hexane)
