Reaction Steps

When n is the bridging group --C(Cl)=CH--, 1,4-cyclohexanedione mono-ethylene ketal is reduced with sodium borohydride in ethanol, yielding the corresponding 1,4-dioxaspiro[4.5]decan-8-ol. The so-prepared alcohol is then treated with methanesulfonyl chloride under basic conditions in methylene chloride, affording 8-methylsulfonyloxy-1,4-dioxaspiro[4.5]decane, which is in turn treated with sodium hydride in tetrahydrofuran, and then is reacted with trimethylsilylacetylene, yielding 8-(trimethylsilylethynyl)-1,4-dioxaspiro[4.5]decane. This compound is then treated with sodium carbonate in methanol to unprotect the ethynyl moiety, affording 8-ethynyl-1,4-dioxaspiro[4.5]decane. The so-prepared ethynyl compound is reacted with an appropriately substituted or unsubstituted phenyl iodide, for example, 3,5-di(trifluoromethyl)phenyl iodide, under basic conditions in the presence of bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II) chloride and copper(I) iodide in acetonitrile, and then is treated with 1N hydrochloric acid, yielding the corresponding 4-(phenylethynyl)cyclohexanone. The cyclohexanone is then reacted with cyanoguanidine, as previously described, affording the 2,4-diamino-6-phenylethynyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinazoline. Chlorination of the 6-phenylethynyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinazoline, using the methods of J. Cousseau (JCS Faraday II, 1973, 1821, and JCS Perkin I, 1977, 1797), affords the targeted 2,4-diamino-6-[1-chloro-2-phenylethenyl]-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinazoline. Example 8 provides a detailed description of how this reaction is conducted.
