Triphenylphosphine → 4-(4-chloro-2-fluoroanilino)-6-methoxy-7-(2-(N-methyl-N-t-butoxycarbonylamino)ethoxy)quinazoline

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-(N-methyl-N-t-butoxycarbonylamino)ethanol (116 mg, 0.7 mmol) in methylene chloride (1 ml) was added to a suspension of 4-(4-chloro-2-fluoroanilino)-7-hydroxy-6-methoxyquinazoline (160 mg, 0.5 mmol), (prepared as described for the starting material in Example 24), and triphenylphosphine (393 mg, 1.5 mmol) in methylene chloride (5 ml). Diethyl azodicarboxylate (261 mg, 1.5 mmol) was then added dropwise and the mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 4 hours. The reaction mixture was poured onto a column of silica and eluted with a gradient of methylene chloride/acetonitrile/methanol (70/30/0 to 70/20/10). The partially purified product was further purified by column chromatography eluting with a gradient of methylene chloride/ether/methanol (60/40/0 to 60/10/30). The pure oil was crystallised from ether, collected by filtration and washed with ether to give 4-(4-chloro-2-fluoroanilino)-6-methoxy-7-(2-(N-methyl-N-t-butoxycarbonylamino)ethoxy)quinazoline (450 mg, 63%).
