Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-amino-4,6-dimethoxy-benzamide (7.50 g, 38.2 mmol) and 3-(2-hydroxy-ethoxy)-5-methoxy-benzaldehyde (7.50 g, 38.2 mmol) in N,N-dimethylacetamide (30 mL) were added NaHSO3 (58.5 wt %, 4.37 g, 42.0 mmol) and p-TSA (0.72 g, 3.8 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated to 115-120° C. for 16 hours, and then cooled to room temperature. N,N-dimethylacetamide was removed under reduced pressure, the residue was diluted with water (50 mL), and the solid was filtered, collected and mixed with ether (50 mL), filtered, and dried under vacuum, to give 2-[3-(2-hydroxy-ethoxy)-5-methoxy-phenyl]-5,7-dimethoxy-3H-quinazolin-4-one as a white solid. Yield: 10 g (70%).
