Water → 2-Chloro-8-methoxy-7-methylquinazoline

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2,4-dichloro-8-methoxy-7-methylquinazoline (43 g, 0.177 mol) in EtOAc (2580 mL) were added DIPEA (22.9 g, 0.177 mol) and Pd/C (8.6 g) in one portion. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 6 h under 20 psi of hydrogen. Water (800 mL) was added and the mixture was filtered. The filtrate was separated, the organic layer was washed with water (500 mL). The combined aqueous layers were re-extracted with EtOAc (700 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo to give the crude product. The crude product was re-crystallized from EtOAc (64 mL)/petroleum ether (192 mL) to give the title compound (24.9 g, 67.5%) as a white solid.
