Reaction Steps

Bromine (3.2 g, 0.020 mol) was added dropwise to a stirred solution of 8-methyl-2-(2-n-propoxyphenyl)-quinazolin-4(3H)-one (3 g, 0.010 mol) in glacial acetic acid (45 ml) at 95° C. The resulting suspension was heated at 105° C. for 18 hours and then evaporated under vacuum. The resulting solid was dissolved in dimethylformamide (25 ml) and the stirred solution treated dropwise with a solution of N-bromosuccinimide (0.89 g, 0.0051 mol) in dimethylformamide (25 ml). After 1 hour at ambient temperature, the solvent was evaporated under vacuum and the residue dissolved in ethyl acetate (50 ml). This solution was washed with saturated aqueous sodium carbonate solution (50 ml), dried (Na2SO4) and evaporated under vacuum. The residue was chromatographed on silica gel (30 g) using a methanol in dichloromethane elution gradient (0-100%) to give the title compound as a white solid (1.67 g, 45%), m.p. 179-180° C.; Rf 0.7 (silica; dichloromethane-methanol; 99:1). This material was used without any further purification.
