Reaction Steps

A mixture of 6,7-dimethoxy-2-(3-nitrophenyl)quinazolin-4(3H)-one (5.72 g, 17.5 mmol) and L-methionine (3.1 g, 20.7 mmol) in methanesulfonic acid (40 mL) was heated at 100° C. for 4.5 h. An additional aliquot of L-methionine (0.45 g, 1.36 mmol) and methanesulfonic acid (10 mL) were added and the mixture was heated for a further 2 h. The mixture was allowed to cool to RT, poured into ice water (ca. 500 mL) and was neutralized with sat. NaHCO3 solution. A solid separated out which was collected by filtration and dried under vacuum to give the desired 6-hydroxy-7-methoxy-2-(3-nitrophenyl)quinazolin-4(3H)-one. (7.3 g). HPLC retention time 5.486 min.
