Reaction Steps

5,7-difluoroquinazolin-4(3H)one (728 mg, 4 mmol) in diglyme (15 ml) and potassium tert-butoxide (4.48 g, 32 mmol) were reacted with 2-methoxyethanol (2.52 ml, 32 mmol) at 110° C. for 1 hour. The mixture was cooled and purified by chromatography on silica gel. Elution with dichloromethane:methanol (96:4) then increased polarity to dichloromethane:methanolic ammonia (95:5) yielded 5,7-bis(2-methoxyethoxy)quinazolin-4(3H)-one (982 mg, 99% yield):
