1-(3,4-Difluorophenyl)piperazine → Methyl {8-fluoro-2-[4-(3,4-difluorophenyl)-1-piperazinyl]-3-[2-methoxy-5-(trifluoromethyl)-phenyl]-3,4-dihydro-4-quinazolinyl}acetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

700 mg (1.78 mmol) of methyl (2E)-3-{3-fluoro-2-[({[2-methoxy-5-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-imino}methylene)amino]phenyl}-2-propenoate (Example 18A), 352 mg (1.78 mmol) of 1-(3,4-difluorophenyl)piperazine (Example 16A) and a spatula tip of silica gel are stirred in 20 ml of dichloromethane at room temperature for 1 hour and then under reflux for 20 hours. The target compound is then purified by chromatography on silica gel (dichloromethane, dichloromethane/ethyl acetate 10:1).
