After cooling it to room temperature the resulting slurry was diluted with diethyl ether (100 mL) and the stirring was continued for an additional 30 minutes. The off-white precipitate was collected by filtration, washed with diethyl ether and dried in vacuo to provide 2-(chloromethyl)-7-(methyloxy)quinazolin-4-ol hydrochloride (7.5 g, 96%). MS (EI) for C10H9ClN2O2: 225 (MH+).
