Ammonia → 6-Methoxy-7-((1-methylpiperidin-4-yl)methoxy)quinazolin-4(3H)-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

A saturated solution of ammonia in methanol (14 ml) was added to a solution of 6-methoxy-7-(1-methylpiperidin-4-ylmethoxy)-3-((pivaloyloxy)methyl)-3,4-dihydroquinazolin-4-one (1.38 g, 3.3 mmol) in methanol (5 ml). After stirring for 20 hours at ambient temperature, the suspension was diluted with methylene chloride (10 ml). The solution was filtered. The filtrate was evaporated under vacuum and the residue was triturated with ether, collected by filtration, washed with ether and dried under vacuum to give 6-methoxy-7-(1-methylpiperidin-4-ylmethoxy)-3,4-dihydroquinazolin-4-one (910 mg, 83%).
