Hydrochloric Acid → 7-(Benzyloxy)-4-(methylsulfanyl)quinazoline

Participants

Reaction Steps

Methyl iodide (0.97 ml, 15.4 mmol) was added dropwise to a solution of 7-benzyloxy-3,4-dihydroquinazolin-4-thione (3.45 g, 12.9 mmol) in THF (13 ml) containing 1M sodium hydroxide (25.7 ml). After stirring for 30 minutes at ambient temperature, the mixture was adjusted to pH7 with 2M hydrochloric acid. After dilution with water, the solid was collected by filtration, washed with water and dried under vacuum to give 7-benzyloxy-4-methylsulphanylquinazoline (3.3 g, 92%).
