Reaction Steps

6-Hydroxyquinazoline (0.060 g, prepared as described in J. Chem. Soc. (1952), 4985) and 2-bromo-N-(4-methylpent-2-yn-4-yl) butyramide (0.101 g) were dissolved in dry N,N-dimethylformamide (2 ml) containing anhydrous potassium carbonate (0.088 g). The mixture was stirred and heated to 80° C. for 5 hours then allowed to cool to ambient temperature and stored for 18 hours. The brown suspension was diluted with water, extracted into ethyl acetate and the organic phase separated, washed with water, dried over magnesium sulphate and evaporated under reduced pressure to give a pale brown oil. The oil was fractionated by chromatography (silica; ethyl acetate/hexane, 4:1 by volume) to give the title product (0.12 g) as a pale brown gum.
