Methyl iodide → 3-[1-(6,7-Dimethoxy-4-quinazolinyl)-4-piperidinyl]-1-methyl-6-nitro-2,4(1H,3H)-quinazolinedione

Participants

Reaction Steps

In 1 ml of DMF was dissolved 239 mg (0.5 mmol) of 3-[1-(6,7-dimethoxy-4-quinazolinyl)-4-piperidinyl]-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-6-nitro-2,4-dioxoquinazoline (Compound 24) obtained in Reference Example 6, and the solution was added dropwise to a solution of 22 mg (0.55 mmol) of 60% sodium hydride in 2 ml of DMF under ice cooling. After stirring for 20 minutes, 0.031 ml (0.5 mmol) of methyl iodide was added thereto, followed by stirring at room temperature for 1 hour. A saturated aqueous solution of ammonium chloride was added to the reaction mixture, and the precipitated solid was collected by filtration. The solid was washed with water, dried by heating, and recrystallized from ethanol/ether to give 152.9 mg (yield: 62%) of Compound 1 as pale yellow crystals.
