Triphenylphosphine → 7-(3-(Ethylsulphonyl)propoxy)-6-methoxy-4-(2-methylindol-5-yloxy)quinazoline

Participants

Reaction Steps

Diethyl azodicarboxylate (117 mg, 0.67 mmol) was added in portions to a solution of 7-hydroxy-6-methoxy-4-(2-methylindol-5-yloxy)quinazoline (120 mg, 0.37 mmol), (prepared as described in Example 49), and 3-(ethylsulphonyl)-1-propanol (74 mg, 0.48 mmol) in methylene chloride (3.5 ml) and triphenylphosphine (176 mg, 0.67 mmol). After stirring for 2 hours at ambient temperature, the residue was poured onto a column of silica and eluted with ethyl acetate/methylene chloride (1/1) followed by methylene chloride/methanol (97/3 followed by 95/5). After removal of the solvent under vacuum, the residue was triturated with ether, filtered and dried under vacuum to give 7-(3-(ethylsulphonyl)propoxy)-6-methoxy-4-(2-methylindol-5-yloxy)quinazoline (93 mg, 55%).
