Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 6-bromo-2-chloro-7-methoxyquinazoline (2.4 g, 8.82 mmol), 3,5-dimethoxyphenylboronic acid (1.6 g, 8.82 mmol), cerium carbonate (8.6 g, 26.46 mmol) and Pd(PPh3)2Cl2 (1.4 g, 2.1 mmol) in THF (10 mL), dioxane (10 mL) and water (2 mL) was degassed with nitrogen three times and stirred at 85° C. for 3 h. LCMS monitored the reaction was completed. The mixture was cooled to RT and extracted with dichloromethane (3×50 mL). The organic layers were separated, combined, washed with water and brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (petroleum ether: ethyl acetate=1:4) to give the title compound (1.1 g, 38%) as a white solid. MS (ES+) C17H15ClN2O3 requires: 330, 332. found: 331, 333 [M+H]+.
