Methanol → N4-(3-ethynylphenyl)quinazoline-4,7-diamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

The title product of example 12 (1.039 g, 3.18 mmol) was dissolved in 50 mL of tetrahydrofuran, 10 mL of methanol and 5 mL of chloroform at 50° C. Sodium dihydrogen phosphite (NaH2PO2, 3.822 g, 36 mmol) and 10% palladium on carbon (0.19 g) were added followed by dropwise addition of 10 mL of water. When 3 mL of water had been added the mixture became noticeably more homogeneous. After 1 hour the mixture was filtered through Celite. The Celite was washed thoroughly with methanol and chloroform. The combined organic solutions were vacuum evaporated to a residue which was triturated with water, 3% aqueous sodium bicarbonate and filtered. The solid title product was washed with water then diethyl ether and dried in vacuo, 1.054 gm (127%, wet). A portion of the above product was recrystallized from a minimum amount of hot ethanol and water to give, after removal of a small first crop of impure material, pure title product, (43%), mp 180° C. (dec).
