Cesium carbonate → 3-(6,7-Bis(2-methoxyethoxy)quinazolin-4-ylthio)aniline

Participants

Reaction Steps

3-Aminothiophenol (56 mg, 0.45 mmol) was treated with cesium carbonate (193 g, 0.59 mmol) in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (22 mL) and the mixture stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. 4-chloro-6,7-bis(2-methoxyethoxy)quinazoline (142 mg, 0.45 mmol) from Example 12A was added and the mixture stirred at 60° C. overnight. After cooling to room temperature the mixture was diluted with chloroform, water and brine were added and the organic phase separated. The water phase was extracted three times with chloroform, dried (MgSO4) and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (dichloromethane/methanol 9:1) to afford 3-(6,7-bis(2-methoxyethoxy)quinazolin-4-ylthio)aniline (140 mg, 77%) as a solid. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.75 (s, 1H), 7.41 (s, 1H), 7.26 (t, 2H), 6.99-6.94 (m, 2H), 6.74 (d, 1H), 4.30 (s, 4H), 3.99 (bs, 6H), 3.87 (s, 6H); LC-MS (ESI) m/z 402 (M+H)+.
