7-Benzyloxy-4-(4-chloro-2-fluorophenylamino)-6-methoxyquinazoline hydrochloride → 4-(4-Chloro-2-fluorophenylamino)-7-hydroxy-6-methoxyquinazoline

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 7-benzyloxy-4-(4-chloro-2-fluoroanilino)-6-methoxyquinazoline hydrochloride (892 mg, 2 mmol) in TFA (10 ml) was heated at reflux for 50 minutes. The mixture was allowed to cool and then poured on to ice. The precipitate was collected by filtration, dissolved in methanol (10 ml) and basified to pH11 with aqueous ammonia. The mixture was concentrated by evaporation, the resulting solid product was collected by filtration, washed with water then ether and dried under vacuum to give 4-(4-chloro-2-fluoroanilino)-7-hydroxy-6-methoxyquinazoline (460 mg, 72%) as a yellow solid.
