Hydrazine hydrate (1:1) → 2-(Chloromethyl)-4-hydrazinylquinazoline

Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

2.1. 46.0g of 4-chloro-2-(chloromethyl)quinazoline are suspended in 600 ml of absolute tetrahydrofuran. The solution is cooled to 0° C. 23.0 ml of hydrazine hydrate are added dropwise within 5 min., whereby a solution results and the temperature rises to 15° to 20° C. The reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature for 4 h. and then evaporated in a vacuum. The residue is triturated with 0.5 l of dichloromethane and 1 l of a saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution and then filtered. The crystals are washed neutral with water and dried in a vacuum. 38 g of 2-(chloromethyl)-4-hydrazinoquinazoline are obtained. The dichloromethane phase of the filtrate is separated and the aqueous phase is extracted with dichloromethane. By evaporation of the organic phases, there are obtained a further 5.8 g of 2-(chloro-methyl)-4-hydrazinoquinazoline. In total there are obtained 43.8 g of 2-(chloromethyl)-4-hydrazino- quinazoline. M.p. 192° C. (dec.).
