Cesium carbonate → 3-(6-Ethoxy-7-methoxyquinazolin-4-ylthio)aniline

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred suspension of cesium carbonate (3.60 g, 11.06 mmol) in THF (60 mL) was added 3-aminobenzenethiol (1.00 g, 7.99 mmol). After stirring for 30 minutes at rt, 4-chloro-6-ethoxy-7-methoxyquinazoline described in Example 11A (1.91 g, 7.99 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture was heated at rt for 15 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to rt and concentrated under reduced pressure to give a solid. Purification by silica gel column chromatography (eluting with 2% methanol in dichloromethane) afforded 3-(6-ethoxy-7-methoxyquinazolin-4-ylthio)aniline (1.20 g, 46%) as a cream solid, which did not require further purification. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 8.69 (s, 1H), 7.33 (s, 1H), 7.30 (s, 1H), 7.12 (dd, J=8, 8 Hz, 1H), 6.79 (s, 1H), 6.66-6.73 (m, 2H), 5.33 (brs, 2H), 4.21 (q, J=7 Hz, 2H), 3.98 (s, 3H), 1.43 (t, J=7 Hz, 3H); LC-MS (ESI) m/z 328 (M+H)+.
