Reaction Steps

A mixture of 7-(2-chloroethoxy)-4-(5-chloro-2,3-methylenedioxypyrid-4-ylamino)-5-isopropoxyquinazoline (24 g), 1-acetylpiperazine (21 g), potassium iodide (18 g) and DMA (500 ml) was stirred and heated to 100° C. for 4 hours. The solvent was evaporated and the residue was partitioned between methylene chloride (1 liter) and water (500 ml). The aqueous layer was extracted with methylene chloride. The organic solutions were combined, washed with brine, dried over magnesium sulphate and evaporated. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica using increasingly polar mixtures of methylene chloride and methanol (from a 20:1 mixture to a 10:1 mixture) as eluent. After evaporation of the solvent, the material so obtained was triturated under diethyl ether. There was thus obtained the title compound as a white solid (26.2 g); m.p. 208-210° C.
