Oxalyl chloride → Methyl 3-(3-(2-bromobenzoyl)ureido)benzoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

The 1-phenyl substituted compound can be prepared as illustrated by the exemplary reaction in Scheme 4. Reaction of 2-bromobenzamide with oxalyl chloride in DCM, followed by addition of methyl 3-aminobenzoate produced methyl 3-(3-(2-bromobenzoyl)ureido)benzoate. Reaction of the benzoate with potassium tert-butoxide in DMF produced 1-(3-methoxycarbonylphenyl)quinazoline-2,4(1H,3H)-dione. Hydrolysis of the ester with NaOH in water-methanol produced 1-(3-carboxyphenyl)quinazoline-2,4(1H,3H)-dione. Coupling of the acid with 2-(piperazin-1-yl)pyrimidine in the presence of coupling agents, such as HATU and DIPEA in DMF, produced the targeted compound 1-(3-(1-(pyrimidin-2-yl)piperazine-4-carbonyl)phenyl)quinazoline-2,4(1H,3H)-dione.
