Reaction Steps

4-Chloro-2-methyl-6-nitro-quinazoline. A mixture of 2-methyl-6-nitro-quinazoline-4-one (100 mg, 0.49 mmol) and diisopropylethylamine (250 uL) in 3 mL of toluene was heated to 120° C. for 1 h, then phosphorylchloride (50 uL, 0.54 mmol) was added and the mixture was heated at 80° C. for 3 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and poured into ice (about 15 g), basified with saturated NaHCO3 and extracted with 75 mL of ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water (50 mL), 1N citric acid (50 mL), water (50 mL) and saturated NaCl, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. The residue was purified by column chromatography (15% ethyl acetate/hexanes) on silica gel to give the title compound (65.5 mg, 0.29 mmol, 60%). 1H NMR (CDCl3): 9.17 (d, J=2.4, 1H), 8.69 (dd, J=9.3, 2.4, 1H), 8.13 (d, J=9.3, 1H), 2.93 (s, 3H).
