Phosphorus oxychloride → 7-(Benzyloxy)-4-chloroquinazoline

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of the product from Step 2 (2.82 g, 11.2 mmol) in phosphorous oxychloride (20 mL) was heated at 100° C. for 16 hours. The reaction was concentrated and azeotroped once with dichlromethane. The residue was dissolved in EtOAc and washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution then saturated sodium chloride solution. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated to provide 7-(benzyloxy)-4-chloroquinazoline (2.72 g, 90%) as a yellow solid. MS 271.2 (ES+).
