Triphenylphosphine → 4-Methylsulphanyl-7-(4-morpholinobut-2-yn-1-yloxy)quinazoline

Participants

Reaction Steps

Triphenylphosphine (4.09 g, 1.56 mmol) was added dropwise to a solution of 7-hydroxy-4-methylsulphanylquinazoline (1.2 g, 6.25 mmol), (prepared as described for the starting material in Example 8), in methylene chloride (30 ml), followed by 4-morpholinobut-2-yn-1-ol (1.26 g, 8.3 mmol), (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1957, 79, 6184), in methylene chloride (5 ml) and diethyl azodicarboxylate (2.46 ml, 1.56 mmol) was added dropwise. After stirring for 3 hours at ambient temperature, the volatiles were removed under vacuum and the residue was purified by column chromatography eluting with methylene chloride/methanol (100/0 followed by 95/5). After removal of the solvent, the residue was triturated with ether, collected by filtration and dried under vacuum to give 4-methylsulphanyl-7-(4-morpholinobut-2-yn-1-yloxy)quinazoline (1.3 g, 63%).
