Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-(3-acetoxy-4-methylanilino)-7-benzyloxy-6-methoxyquinazoline hydrochloride (2.68 g, 5.75 mmol), 10% palladium-on-charcoal catalyst (0.27 g) in methanol (50 ml), DMF (12 ml) and trichloromethane (50 ml) was stirred at ambient temperature under an atmosphere of hydrogen (1.5 atmospheres) for 30 minutes. The catalyst was filtered off and the filtrate evaporated. The residual solid was triturated in ether, filtered off and dried under vacuum at 50° C. to give 4-(3-acetoxy-4-methylanilino)-7-hydroxy-6-methoxyquinazoline hydrochloride (2.1 g, 100%).
