Chloroacetonitrile → 7-(1-Cyanomethylpiperidin-4-ylmethoxy)-6-methoxy-4-(3-methylindol-5-yloxy)quinazoline

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 6-methoxy-4-(3-methylindol-5-yloxy)-7-(piperidin-4-ylmethoxy)quinazoline (460 mg, 1.10 mmol), (prepared as described in Example 276), triethylamine (5 ml) and chloroacetonitrile (0.38 ml, 6.05 mmol) in methanol (5 ml) was stirred at ambient temperature for 24 hours. The solvents were removed in vacuo and the residue purified by silica column chromatography using gradient elution (dichloromethane, 5% methanol/95% dichloromethane, methanol/dichloromethane/0.880 saturated aqueous ammonia (100/8/1)) and the product recrystallised from acetonitrile to give 7-(1-cyanomethylpiperidin-4-ylmethoxy)-6-methoxy-4-(3-methylindol-5-yloxy)quinazoline (178 mg, 35%).
