Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-amino-6-(2-methylpropionamido)quinazoline (6.2 g) and dimethyl methoxymethylenepropanedioate (7.01 g) in N,N-dimethylformamide (25 ml) was stirred at 100° C. for 1.5 hours and cooled to room temperature. Water was added to the reaction mixture. The resulting solid was separated by filtration, washed with water and dried to give dimethyl [[6-(2-methylpropionamido)-4-quinazolinylamino]methylene]propanedioate (8.9 g). Recrystallization from ethyl acetate gave pure crystals melting at 212°-214° C.
