Reaction Steps

A solution of di-tert-butyl azodicarboxylate (1.7 g) in methylene chloride (5 ml) was added to a stirred mixture of 5-hydroxy-7-methoxy-3-pivaloyloxymethyl-3,4-dihydroquinazolin-4-one (1.5 g), triphenylphosphine (1.9 g), 4-hydroxy-1-methylpiperidine (0.675 g) and methylene chloride (20 ml) which had been cooled to 5° C. The mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 1 hour. The mixture was evaporated and the residue was purified by column chromatography on silica using a 9:10:1 mixture of methylene chloride, ethyl acetate and a saturated methanolic ammonia solution as eluent. The material so obtained was triturated under diethyl ether. The resultant solid was washed with diethyl ether and dried under vacuum to give 7-methoxy-5-(N-methylpiperidin-4-yloxy)-3-pivaloyloxymethyl-3,4-dihydroquinazolin-4-one (1.75 g); NMR Spectrum: (CDCl3): 1.2 (s, 9H), 2.05 (br s, 4H), 2.3 (s, 3H), 2.3–2.42 (m, 2H), 2.7–2.8 (m, 2H), 3.9 (s, 3H), 4.48 (m, 1H), 5.9 (s, 2H), 6.5 (d, 1H), 6.71 (d, 1H), 8.18 (s, 1H).
