Tributylphosphine → 4-(4-Chloro-2-fluoroanilino)-7-(2-ethoxycarbonylpyrid-4-yl)methoxy-6-methoxyquinazoline

Participants

Reaction Steps

1,1'-(azodicarbonyl)dipiperidine (840 mg, 3 mmol) was added in portions to a mixture of 4-(4-chloro-2-fluoroanilino)-7-hydroxy-6-methoxyquinazoline (315 mg, 1 mmol), ethyl 4-hydroxymethyl-2-pyridinecarboxylate (250 mg, 1.4 mmol), (J. Het. Chem. 1993, 30, 631-635) and tributylphosphine (800 μl, 3 mmol) in methylene chloride (50 ml) at 0° C. The mixture was allowed to warm to ambient temperature over 2 hours, the insolubles were removed by filtration and the filtrate was washed with water and brine, dried (Na2SO4) and the solvent removed by evaporation. The residue was purified by column chromatography eluting with methylene chloride/methanol (10:0 increasing to 9:1). The purified product was recrystallised from methylene chloride/hexane to give 4-(4-chloro-2-fluoroanilino)-7-(2-ethoxycarbonylpyrid-4-yl)methoxy-6-methoxyquinazoline (285 mg, 60%). m.p. 212-214° C.
