Reaction Steps

Ozone was bubbled through a cooled (−78° C.) solution of 4-chloro-7-vinyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinazoline (reagent preparation 3, 0.35 g, 1.8 mmol) in methanol (5 mL) and dichloromethane (30 mL) until a blue color persisted. The solution was then sparged with N2 for 10 minutes and sodium borohydride (0.14 g, 3.6 mmol) was added portionwise. After 30 minutes the reaction mixture was partitioned between dichloromethane and saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and then concentrated in vacuo to provide (4-chloro-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinazolin-7-yl)methanol (0.32 g, 90% yield) as a waxy solid. MS (ES) for C9H11ClN2O: 199 (MH+).
