Triphenylphosphine → 6-Methoxy-4-(2-methylindol-5-yloxy)-7-(2-(4-pyridyloxy)ethoxy)quinazoline

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 7-hydroxy-6-methoxy-4-(2-methylindol-5-yloxy)quinazoline (193 mg, 0.6 mmol), (prepared as described in Example 49), 4-(2-hydroxyethoxy)pyridine (166 mg, 1.2 mmol), (J. Chem. Soc. Perkin II, 1987, 1867), in methylene chloride (5 ml) containing triphenylphosphine (330 mg, 1.26 mmol) and diisopropyl azodicarboxylate (255 mg, 1.26 mmol) was stirred at ambient temperature for 2 hours. The precipitate was filtered, triturated with ether followed by ethyl acetate, and dried under vacuum to give 6-methoxy-4-(2-methylindol-5-yloxy)-7-(2-(4-pyridyloxy)ethoxy)quinazoline (142 mg, 54%).
