Reaction Steps

N′-(2-Cyano-3,6-difluorophenyl)-N,N-dimethylformamidine (1.65 g, 7.9 mmol) and 3-methyl-4-methoxyphenethylamine hydrochloride (2.4 g, 11.8 mmol) were combined in acetic acid (2.55 mL) and absolute ethanol (15 mL) and heated to reflux for 16 h. Upon cooling, the solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the remaining solid was slurried with water, suction filtered and washed with water, dried in vacuum at 45° C. to give 1.51 g (58%) of (5,8-difluoroquinazolin-4-yl)-[2-(4-methoxy-3-methylphenyl)-ethyl]-amine as an off-white solid. LC/MS: 330.18 (M++1). 1H NMR (CDCl3): δ 8.67 (s, 1H), 7.35 (m, 1H), 6.94-7.09 (m, 3H), 6.79 (d, J=9.0 Hz, 1H), 6.65-6.80 (br, 1H), 3.87 (q, J=6.9 Hz, 2H), 3.83 (s, 3H), 2.93 (t, J=6.9 Hz, 2H), 2.22 (s, 3H). M.P. 162-169° C.
