Reaction Steps

Excess anhydrous hydrochloric acid in ethanol (1 ml) was added to a solution of 4-(methylthio)-6-methoxy-7-(cyanomethoxy)quinazoline (300 mg, 1.15 mmol) in dichloromethane (20 ml) and the reaction was stirred for 20 hours at 4° C. The solvent was evaporated, ethylene diamine (280 mg, 8.15 mmol) in ethanol (10 ml) was added to the residue, and the mixture was refluxed for 2 hours. Solvent evaporation in vacuo and purification by flash chromatography on silica gel, eluting with 5% methanol in dichloromethane, yielded 4-(methylthio)-6-methoxy-7-((4,5-dihydro-2-imidazolyl)methoxy)quinazoline (56 mg, 22% yield) as a white solid:
