Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-amino-4-methoxy-benzamide (1.00 g, 6.01 mmol) and 4-(2-hydroxy-ethoxy)-3,5-dimethyl-benzaldehyde (1.28 g, 6.59 mmol) in N,N-dimethylacetamide (15 mL) were added NaHSO3 (58.5 wt %, 0.68 g, 6.50 mmol) and p-TSA (0.23 g, 1.20 mmol) and the reaction mixture was stirred at 115° C. for 16 hours, and cooled to room temperature. Solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The residue was diluted with water (50 mL), stirred for 30 minutes, and then filtered. The solid was suspended in dichloromethane (30 mL), stirred for 1 hour, filtered, and dried under vacuum, to give 2-[4-(2-hydroxy-ethoxy)-3,5-dimethyl-phenyl]-7-methoxy-3H-quinazolin-4-one as an off-white solid. Yield: 1.20 g (58%).
