Reaction Steps

A solution of 7-[2-hydroxy-3-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)propoxy]-6-methoxyquinazolin-4-one (1.2 g, 3.3 mmol) and acetic anhydride (670 μl) in ether (2 ml) was stirred 10 minutes at ambient temperature. Ether (2 ml) was further added, followed by acetic anhydride (670 μl). After stirring 1 hour at ambient temperature, water (305 μl) was added and stirring was continued for 1.5 hours. The mixture was partitioned between methylene chloride and saturated sodium bicarbonate. The organic layer was separated and the aqueous layer was further extracted with methylene chloride. The organic layers were combined, dried (MgSO4) and evaporated. The solid was triturated with ether, filtered, washed with ether and dried under vacuum to give 7-[2-acetoxy-3-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)propoxy]-6-methoxyquinazolin-4-one (0.93 g, 72%).
