7-Benzyloxy-4-(2-fluoro-5-methoxycarbonyloxy-4-methylanilino)-6-methoxyquinazoline hydrochloride → 4-(2-Fluoro-5-methoxycarbonyloxy-4-methylanilino)-7-hydroxy-6-methoxyquinazoline hydrochloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 7-benzyloxy-4-(2-fluoro-5-methoxycarbonyloxy-4-methylanilino)-6-methoxyquinazoline hydrochloride (700 mg, 1.4 mmol) and 10% palladium-on-charcoal (100 mg) in DMF (10 ml), methanol (10 ml) and trichloromethane (10 ml) was stirred under hydrogen at 1 atmosphere pressure for 1 hour. The catalyst was removed by filtration through diatomaceous earth and the solvent was removed by evaporation. The residue was triturated with ether, collected by filtration and dried under vacuum to give 4-(2-fluoro-5-methoxycarbonyloxy-4-methylanilino)-7-hydroxy-6-methoxyquinazoline hydrochloride (570 mg, 98%).
