Reaction Steps
A mixture of (S)-3-methyl-3-(2-methyl-5-nitro-4-oxoquinazolin-3(4H)-yl)piperidine-2,6-dione (0.30 g, 1.0 mmol) and 10% Pd—C (0.2 g, 50% wet), in 200 mL of 3:1 ethyl acetate-methanol was shaken under 50 psi H2 for 45 minutes. The mixture was filtered through Celite, and the solvent was evaporated. The residue was redissolved in 200 mL of 4:1 dichloromethane-acetone, and manganese dioxide (0.20 g, 2.2 mmol) was added. This mixture was stirred for 16 hours. The mixture was filtered through Celite, and the filtrate was evaporated. The residue was chromatographed on silica gel using a dichloromethane-acetonitrile gradient, eluting (S)-3-(5-amino-2-methyl-4-oxoquinazolin-3(4H)-yl)-3-methylpiperidine-2,6-dione as a beige solid (0.10 g, 37% yield): HPLC, Waters Symmetry C-18, 3.9×150 mm, 5 μm, 1 ml/min, 240 nm, 20/80 CH3CN/0.1% H3PO4, 1.63 (99.20%); mp 297-299° C.; 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 1.88 (s, 3H, CH3), 2.31-2.36 (m, 1H, CHH), 2.53-2.59 (m, 2H, 2CHH), 2.62 (s, 3H, CH3), 2.71-2.84 (m, 1H, CHH), 6.53-6.56 (m, 2H, Ar), 6.95 (br, 2H, NH2), 7.35 (t, J=8 Hz, 1H, Ar), 10.72 (s, 1H, NH); 13C NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 24.5, 26.3, 28.3, 29.0, 62.2, 104.2, 110.5, 110.8, 135.0, 147.4, 150.4, 152.9, 164.9, 171.5, 173.0; Anal.
