Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

The quinazoline 1 (1.5 g, 3.0 mmol) was dissolved in THF (150 mL). After cooling to −78° C., t-BuLi (1.7 M in heptane, 1.76 mL) was added dropwise. After stirring for 10 min at −78° C., CO2 (crushed) was added to the solution, then warmed up to RT and stirred for 30 min. Quenched the reaction with H2O (100 mL), diluted with EtOAc (100 mL), The organic layer was dried, concentrated, purified by flash chromatography (1%-10% MeOH/DCM) to obtain 2 (600 mg, 43% yield).
