Acidic hydrolysis of the enol ether groups of 1,4-dihydro-3,5-dimethoxybenzyl alcohol (I) gave diketone (II). Subsequent condensation of (II) with chloroacetaldehyde in the presence of NaHCO3, followed by dehydration of the intermediate (III) upon acidic treatment, yielded the tetrahydrobenzofuranone (IV). Tosylate (V) was then prepared by reaction of alcohol (IV) with p-toluenesulfonyl chloride in cold pyridine. Finally, nucleophilic displacement of the tosylate group with benzisoxazolylpiperidine (VI) in N-methylpyrrolidone provided the title amine.
