Thionyl Chloride → Methyl 1-((6-hydroxyquinazolin-2-yl)methyl)piperidine-4-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 1-((6-methoxyquinazolin-2-yl)methyl)piperidine-4-carboxylate (3.0 g, 9.5 mmol) in DCM (15 mL) was added BBr3 (9.5 mmol, 1.0 eq) at 0° C. under N2. The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 16 h. After the removal of solvent, SOCl2 (2.8 g, 0.238 mol, 1.5 eq) and MeOH (20 mL) was added at 0° C. The mixture was refluxed at 80° C. for 3 h, poured into the NaHCO3 aqueous solution and extracted with DCM (100 mL*3). The combined extracts were dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and evaporated to dryness in vacuum. The crude product was purified by chromatography (eluting with DCM/MeOH=25/1) to give methyl 1-((6-hydroxyquinazolin-2-yl)methyl)piperidine-4-carboxylate (1.7 g, yield: 77%) as a yellow solid. 1HNMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ: 10.36 (s, 1H), 9.35 (s, 1H), 7.84 (d, J=9.2 Hz, 1H), 7.51 (dd, J=9.2, 2.4 Hz, 1H), 7.25 (d, J=2.4 Hz, 1H), 3.74 (s, 2H), 3.57 (s, 3H), 2.86˜2.84 (m, 2H), 2.27 (m, 1H), 2.16 (m, 2H), 1.77 (m, 2H), 1.56 (m, 2H); ESI-MS: m/z 302.1 ([M+1]+).
