Triphenylphosphine → 4-(2-Fluoro-5-methoxycarbonyloxy-4-methylanilino)-6-methoxy-7-(2-(4-pyridyl)ethoxy)quinazoline

Participants

Reaction Steps

Diethyl azodicarboxylate (244 mg, 1.4 mmol) was added to a suspension of 4-(2-fluoro-5-methoxycarbonyloxy-4-methylanilino)-7-hydroxy-6-methoxyquinazoline hydrochloride (261 mg, 0.7 mmol), (prepared as described for the starting material in Example 22), triphenylphosphine (367 mg, 1.4 mmol) and 2-(4-pyridyl)ethanol (104 mg, 0.84 mmol), (Zhur. Obshchei. Khim. 1958, 28, 103-110), in methylene chloride and the mixture stirred for 30 minutes at ambient temperature. The solvent was removed by evaporation. The residue was suspended in ether and the ether then decanted. The resulting crude oil was purified by column chromatography eluting with methylene chloride/methanol (90/10) to give 4-(2-fluoro-5-methoxycarbonyloxy-4-methylanilino)-6-methoxy-7-(2-(4-pyridyl)ethoxy)quinazoline (300 mg, 90%).
