Reaction Steps

Part C: To a suspension of 14.2 g (59.5 mmol) of 2-methyl-4-hydroxy-8-bromo-quinazoline in 300 ml of benzene, 16 ml (120 mmol) of dimethylaniline and 6 ml (64 mmol) of phosphorus oxychloride were added under nitrogen. The light yellow solution resulting after heating to 80° C. while stirring was further heated at 80° C. for 3 hours. After cooling to room temperature 500 ml of benzene were added. The solution was extracted three times with 300 ml of 20% NaOH/water and 200 ml of water. The organic layer was dried over magnesium sulphate and concentrated in vacuo. The product was purified by column chromatography over silicagel using ether/petroleum-ether 1:9 as the eluent. A total of 12.3 g of 2-methyl-4-chloro-8-bromo-quinazoline was obtained as a white solid (80% yield).
