N,N-Dimethylaniline → 4-Chloro-2-(chloromethyl)quinazoline

(2-Chloromethyl-quinazolin-4-yl)-(4-methoxy-phenyl)-methyl-amine: A mixture of 2-chloromethyl-quinazolin-4(3H)-one (256 mg, 1.32 mmol), phosphoryl chloride (1.23 ml, 13.2 mmol) and N,N-dimethylaniline (0.34 ml, 2.64 mmol) in chloroform (10 ml) was heated under reflux for 4 h. The reaction mixture was poured onto ice and extracted by ethyl acetate. The solvent was evaporated, and the residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel with acetate and hexane (1:1) as eluent, yielding 180 mg of 4-chloro-2-chloromethyl-quinazoline. The intermediate (170 mg, 0.80 mmol) and (4-methoxy-phenyl)-methylamine (131.7 mg, 0.96 mmol) in isopropyl alcohol (5 ml) with concentrated HCl (0.05 ml) was stirred at room temperature overnight. The precipitation was formed and collected by filtration, then washed and dried to give 231 mg (92%) of the title compound. 1H NMR (CDCl3): 7.82 (d, J=8.7 Hz, 1H), 7.59-7.53 (m, 1H), 7.15-7.12 (m, 2H), 7.03-7.00 (m, 2H), 6.95-6.91 (m, 2H), 4.73 (s, 2H), 3.85 (s, 3H), 3.62 (s, 3H).
