To a solution of (±)-3-benzyl-2-(1-bromo-2-methyl-propyl)-7-chloro-3H-quinazolin-4-one (a compound of Formula 105, 250 mg, 0.616 mmol) in DMF (3 mL) was added triethylamine (0.130 mL, 0.924 mmol) and imidazole (63.0 mg, 0.924 mmol) followed by tetrabutylammonium iodide (228 mg, 0.616 mmol). The resultant solution was heated to 90 ° C., stirred for 18 h and allowed to cool to room temperature. The reaction mixture was quenched with water (3 mL) and diluted with ether (10 mL). The aqueous layer was extracted with ether (10 mL) and the combined extracts were dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (1:1 hexanes:ethyl acetate) to provide 38 mg (16%) of the title compound as a yellow solid. MS(ES+) m/e 393.0 [M +H]+.
