Tetrapropoxymethane → (6-Chloro-2-propoxy-3-propyl-3H-quinazoline-4-ylidene)propylamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a small distillation apparatus 2.5 g (9.8 mmol) of 2-amino-5-chloro-N,N′-dipropylbenzamidine and 3.4 g (13.8 mmol) tetra-n-propylorthocarbonate are heated at 135° C. for 14 hours. Then propanol and excess tetra-n-propylorthocarbonate are distilled off in a water jet vacuum and the residue is purified by column chromatography on silica gel (eluant: hexane/tert.butylmethylether 10:1). Yield: 1.1 g of (6-chloro-2-propoxy-3-propyl-3H-quinazolidine-4-ylidene)propylamine in the form of brownish crystals, m.p. 50-51° C.
