Methyl iodide → Methyl 2-(3-chlorobenzyl)-3-methyl-4-oxo-3,4-dihydro-quinazoline-7-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 160 mg of methyl 2-(3-chlorobenzyl)-4-oxo-3,4-dihydroquinazoline-7-carboxylate which was synthesized in Production Example 1, 65 mg of potassium carbonate, 20 mL of acetonitrile and 67 mg of methyl iodide was heated for 2 hours under reflux. Further 20 mg of methyl iodide was added, followed by another hour's heating under reflux. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool off, and then concentrated under reduced pressure, 10 mL of water was added thereto, and extracted with 60 mL of ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with 10 mL of saturated saline solution, dried over magnesium sulfate, concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified on silica gel chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=2:1) to provide 130 mg of the title compound.
