2-Bromoethylamine (I) was protected as the Boc derivative (II) and then condensed with dibenzocycloheptenylidenepiperidine (III) to afford (IV). Acid deprotection of the Boc group of (IV) provided diamine (V). This was then coupled with N-formyl isonipecotic acid (VI) employing EDC to produce the corresponding amide. The title compound was finally converted to the hydrochloride salt.
