The reaction of 1,3-benzodioxol-5-ylmethylamine (I) with acryloyl chloride (II) by means of TEA gives the acrylamide (III), which is reductocondensed with perhydroazepine (IV) by means of LiAlH4 or BH3/THF in THF to yield the secondary amine (V). Finally this compound is condensed with 5-chloro-3-(3,5-difluorophenyl)isoxazole (VI) by means of BuLi in diethyl ether to afford the target tertiary amine. The intermediate 5-chloro-3-(3,5-difluorophenyl)isoxazole (VI) has been obtained by two related ways: The condensation of 3.5-difluorobenzoyl chloride (VII) with malonic acid monoethyl ester (VIII) by means of BuLi gives 2-(3,5-difluorobenzoyl)acetic acid ethyl ester (IX), which is cyclized with hydroxylamine in HOAc to yield 3-(3,5-difluorophenyl)isoxazol-5-ol (X). Finally this compound is treated with POCl3 to afford the desired 5-chloro-3-(3,5-difluorophenyl)isoxazole (VI) intermediate. Alternatively, the reaction of 3,5-difluoroacetophenone (XI) with diethyl carbonate (XII) by means of NaH yields also the already reported intermediate 2-(3,5-difluorobenzoyl)acetic acid ethyl ester (IX)
