Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-(4-chloro-2-fluoroanilino)-7-hydroxy-6-methoxyquinazoline (320 mg, 1 mmol), (prepared as described for the starting material in Example 24), potassium carbonate (414 mg, 3 mmol), potassium iodide (40 mg) and 4-(chloromethyl)pyridine hydrochloride (250 mg, 1.5 mmol) in DMF (15 ml) was heated at 60° C. for 2 hours. The mixture was allowed to cool and partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The organic layer was separated, washed with water and brine, dried (MgSO4) and the solvent removed by evaporation. The residue was suspended in ethanol (20 ml) and concentrated hydrochloric acid (0.5 ml) was added. The volatiles were removed by evaporation and the solid residue was azeotroped with toluene. The solid product was recrystallised from isopropanol to give 4-(4-chloro-2-fluoroanilino)-6-methoxy-7-((4-pyridyl)methoxy)quinazoline hydrochloride (335 mg, 70%). 1H NMR Spectrum: (DMSOd6) 4.1(s, 3H); 5.69(s, 2H); 7.46(dd, 1H); 7.52(s, 1H); 7.62(t, 1H); 7.69(dd, 1H); 8.03(d, 2H); 8.55(s, 1H); 8.83(s, 1H); 8.93(d, 2H) MS-ESI: 411 [MH]+
