Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

4-amino-2-chloro-6,7-dimethoxyquinazoline (3.2 g, 13.35 mmol) and compound 1 (3.4 g, 13.75 mmol) prepared from Example 3 were dissolved in 72 mL of n-butanol. The mixture was refluxed under nitrogen for 3.5 hours. After cooling to 75° C., the solid product was obtained by filtration and dried to afford 5.25 g of hydrochloride salt of Doxazosin (10.76 mmol, 81% yield). 1 N NaOH solution was added to the salt. The mixture was heated to help the salt dissolved. After cooling, the mixture was extracted with 150 mL of dichloromethane twice. The organic layer was dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated to afford 4.61 g of Doxazosin.
