Reaction Steps

A suspension of 306 mg (1.0 mmol) of 3-(2-chloro-phenyl)-6-fluoro-2-thioxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-quinazolin-4-one in 2.0 mL of POCl3 was treated with 350 mg of PCl5 and the mixture was refluxed for 2.5 hours. The solvent was evaporated and the residues were taken up in ethyl acetate, washed with water and brine, and then the solvent was evaporated to give 2-chloro-3-(2-chloro-phenyl)-6-fluoro-3H-quinazolin-4-one as a solid. This material was dissolved in 15 mL of absolute ethanol and 238 mg (2.20 mmol) of 2-aminomethylpyridine and the mixture was refluxed overnight. The reaction mixture was cooled and the solvent was evaporated. The residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate and washed twice with water. The organic layer was dried with brine and with MgSO4 and evaporated to give a gum which was crystallized from ether to give 190 mg (50%) of the desired product, m.p. 156-158 ° C.
