Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of methyl 4-oxo-10-(2-ethylbutyramido)-4H-pyrmido[1,2-C]quinazoline-3-carboxylate (3.2 g), anhydrous lithium iodide (8.0 g) and dry pyridine (32 ml) was stirred at 120° C. for 1.5 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure to give a residue, which was dissolved in water. Insoluble materials were removed by filtration. The aqueous layer was adjusted to pH 1-2 with conc. hydrochloric acid to give crystals, which were separated by filtration and dried. The crude crystals were washed with methanol three times and recrystallized from acetonitrile to give 4-oxo-10-(2-ethylbutyramido)-4H-pyrimido[1,2-C]quinazoline-3-carboxylic acid (0.7 g).
