Piperazine → 4-[trans-(2-Hydroxycyclopentan-1-yl)oxy]-2-(1-piperazinyl)quinazoline

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of trans-1,2-cyclopentanediol [manufactured by Aldrich Co., cf. J. Chem. Soc., 4026 (1952)] (5.39 g) and 2,4-dichloroquinazoline [cf. J. Am. Chem. Soc., 53, 3867 (1931)] (9.58 g) in dimethylformamide (50 ml) is added gradually 60% sodium hydride (in oil) (2.49 g) with stirring under ice-cooling, and the mixture is stirred at room temperature for 1 hour and 20 minutes. The reaction mixture is diluted with ethyl acetate and washed with water 6 times. The resulting ethyl acetate solution is dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and is evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure, and the residue is briefly purified with medium pressure liquid column chromatography (eluent, chloroform) to give an oily substance. The oily substance thus obtained is dissolved in dioxane (27 ml), and the mixture is slowly added dropwise to a solution of piperazine (9.67 g) in dioxane (36 ml) with stirring at 70° C., and the mixture is stirred at the same temperature for one hour and 10 minutes. The reaction mixture is diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with water, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The resulting solution is evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure, and the residue is washed with acetone, and the resulting crystals are recrystallized from acetone to give 4-[trans-(2-hydroxycyclopentan-1-yl)oxy]-2-(1-piperazinyl)quinazoline (2.89 g) as crystals.
