Sodium Hydroxide → 3-(4,4'-dimethoxybenzhydryl)-2-propyl-6-nitroquinazolin-4(3H)-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 1.01 g (33.7 mmol) of 80% sodium hydride in 20 mL of dry DMF was added at 0° C. 7.5 g (32 mmol) of the product of Step A as a solid. The reaction mixture was diluted with a further 50 mL of DMF to assist stirring. After hydrogen evolution was complete, a solution of 8.8 g (33.7 mmol) of 4,4'-dimethoxybenzhydryl chloride in 20 mL of dry DMF was added dropwise. The reaction mixture was stirred overnight and then poured into 300 mL of 0.1N NaOH. The precipitate was collected by filtration and dried under vacuum to give 12.1 g (94%) of a yellow solid.
