Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-amino-3-methoxy-benzamide (700 mg, 4.22 mmol) and 4-(2-hydroxyethoxy)-3,5-dimethyl benzaldehyde (823 mg, 4.22 mmol) in N,N-dimethyl acetamide (10 mL) were added NaHSO3 (58.5 wt %, 841 mg, 4.64 mmol) and p-TSA (160 mg, 0.84 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated at 115° C. for 16 hours, then cooled to room temperature. Solvent was removed under reduced pressure. Water (100 mL) was added and stirred for 1 hour at room temperature. The solid separated was filtered and dried. The solid was further washed with diethyl ether to give crude product 2-[4-(2-hydroxy-ethoxy)-3,5-dimethyl-phenyl]-8-methoxy-3H-quinazolin-4-one as an off-white solid. Yield: 1.2 g (84%).
