Cesium carbonate → 3-(6,7-Dimethoxyquinazolin-4-yloxy)-2-fluoroaniline

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred slurry of cesium carbonate (10.25 g, 31.47 mmol) in a 9:1 mixture of THF/DMF (100 mL) at rt, was added 3-amino-2-fluorophenol (2.00 g, 15.74 mmol) in one portion. After stirring for 30 min at rt, 4-chloro-6,7-dimethoxyquinazoline (3.54 g, 15.74 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture was heated at 50° C. for 18 h. The reaction was cooled to rt, then diluted with dichloromethane. The solution was washed with water, then brine, and dried over MgSO4. Filtration followed by concentration under reduced pressure gave a solid that was triturated with a mixture of 10% dichloromethane in ethyl acetate. Filtration afforded 3-(6,7-dimethoxyquinazolin-4-yloxy)-2-fluoroaniline (2.10 g, 42%) as a colorless solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 8.56 (s, 1H), 7.54 (s, 1H), 7.40 (s, 1H), 6.93 (dd, J=8.4, 8.4 Hz, 1H), 6.71 (dd, J=8.4, 8.4 Hz, 1H), 6.53 (m, 1H), 5.37 (brs, 2H), 3.99 (s, 3H), 3.98 (s, 3H); LC-MS (ESI) m/z 316 (M+H)+.
