Reaction Steps

Benzyl 2-amino-4-(benzyloxy)-5-methoxybenzoate (5.55 kg), formamidine acetate (2.2 kg) and isobutanol (33.3 L) were mixed. The reaction mixture was then heated to 97° C. and stirred at this temperature for 6 hours. The reaction mixture was then cooled to 25° C. over a period of at least an hour and then stirred at this temperature for 30 minutes. The product (7-benzyloxy-6-methoxy-3,4-dihydroquinazolin-4-one) was isolated by filtration, washed with isobutanol (6.1 L) and dried in the vacuum oven at a temperature of from 40 to 45° C.
