4-Isopropylphenylacetic acid → 1-[4-(6,7-Dimethoxy-quinazolin-4-yl)-piperidin-1-yl]-2-(4-isopropyl-phenyl)-ethanone

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-isopropylphenylacetic acid (36 mg, 0.2 mmol) in anhydrous DCM (1 mL) was added PS-carbodiimide (100 mg, 0.3 mmol) and the mixture was shaken at rt for 15 min. Then, a solution of 6,7-dimethoxy-4-piperidin-4-yl-quinazoline (27.5 mg, 0.1 mmol), as prepared in Example 1d, in anhydrous DMF (1 mL) was added to the mixture and it was shaken overnight at rt. It was then filtered and the resin was washed with THF/DCM and the combined filtrate and washings were concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was purified by flash column chromatography (silica gel, 1% MeOH/DCM) to yield 13.4 mg (31%) of pure 1-[4-(6,7-dimethoxy-quinazolin-4-yl)-piperidin-1-yl]-2-(4-isopropyl-phenyl)-ethanone. 1H-NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): δ 9.06 (s, 1H), 7.39 (s, 1H), 7.26 (s, 1H), 7.23-7.19 (m, 4H), 4.82 (d, 1H), 4.17-4.00 (m, 7H), 3.76 (m, 2H), 3.57 (m, 1H), 3.23 (m, 1H), 2.96-2.80 (m, 2H), 2.06-1.80 (m, 4H), 1.23 (d, 6H). LC/MS (ESI): calcd mass 433.2, found 434.4 (MH)+.
