Reaction Steps

7-(2-Hydroxy-3-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)propoxy)-6-methoxy-3,4-dihydroquinazolin-4-one (5 g) was suspended in acetic anhydride (7.4 ml). The reaction mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 90 minutes followed by addition of water (2.8 ml) and the reaction mixture was stirred an additional 2 hours in order to hydrolyse the diacetate byproduct. The mixture was cooled with an ice bath, more water (100 ml) was added and a solution of sodium hydroxide (2N) was slowly added to adjust the pH to 9.5. The product was extracted with dichloromethane (3 times) the organic phases were combined, washed with water, brine, dried over magnesium sulphate, filtered and the solvent evaporated to give 7-(2-acetoxy-3-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)propoxy)-6-methoxy-3,4-dihydroquinazolin-4-one (4.2 g) as a white solid.
