Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 7-hydroxy-6-methoxy-4-(3-methylindol-5-yloxy)quinazoline (1.35 g, 4.2 mmol), (prepared as described for the starting material in Example 271), potassium carbonate (1.74 g, 12.6 mmol) and (2R)-(−)-glycidyl tosylate (1.92 g, 8.4 mmol) in DMF (25 ml) was stirred at 60° C. for 2 hours and allowed to cool to ambient temperature. The reaction mixture was filtered and the solvent removed in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in dichloromethane and washed with saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate solution. The organic layer was then dried (MgSO4), filtered and solvent removed in vacuo to give a solid. This was triturated with ether and the solid filtered off and dried to give (2R)-6-methoxy-4-(3-methylindol-5-yloxy)-7-(oxiran-2-ylmethoxy)quinazoline (842 mg, 53%).
