Reaction Steps

Diethyl azodicarboxylate (435 mg, 2.5 mmol) was added dropwise to a suspension of 7-hydroxy-6-methoxy-3-((pivaloyloxy)methyl)-3,4-dihydroquinazolin-4-one (612 mg, 2 mmol), (prepared as described for the starting material in Example 85), 2-(imidazol-1-yl)ethanol (280 mg, 2.5 mmol), (J. Med. Chem. 1993, 25 4052-4060), and triphenylphosphine (655 mg, 2.5 mmol) in methylene chloride (10 ml) at 5° C. The mixture was stirred for 10 minutes at 5° C. and then 1 hour at ambient temperature. The mixture was poured directly on to a silica column and eluted with methylene chloride/methanol (95/5) to give 7-(2-(imidazol-1-yl)ethoxy)-6-methoxy-3-((pivaloyloxy)methyl)-3,4-dihydroquinazolin-4-one (640 mg, 80%). 1H NMR Spectrum: (CDCl3) 1.19(s, 9H); 3.98(s, 3H); 4.34(m, 2H); 4.45(m, 2H); 5.94(s, 2H); 7.02(s, 1H); 7.07(s, 1H); 7.11(s, 1H); 7.64(s, 1H); 7.67(s, 1H); 8.17(s, 1H) MS-ESI: 423 [MNa]+
