Reaction Steps

Piperazine hydrobromide (168.0 g., 1.006 mole) was added to a suspension of 4-amino-2-chloro-6,7-dimethoxyquinazoline (241.0 g., 1.006 mole) in 2-methoxyethanol (3.6 l.) and the mixture was stirred at reflux for 1.25 hours. The precipitate was separated by filtration, washed with hot 2-methoxyethanol and dried. The material then was added to a stirred solution of sodium hydroxide (81.0 g., 2.01 mole) in water (3 l.) and the mixture was heated to 75° C. The mixture then was cooled to 40° C., filtered, and the insoluble precipitate washed with water and dried. The material was triturated under refluxing absolute ethanol (6.0 l.) and the mixture was filtered. The filtrate was evaporated to dryness to yield the title compound, 180.0 g. (62%), M.P. 224°-228° C.
