N-Methylaniline → 2-Chloro-4-(N-methylphenylamino)-6-methoxyquinazoline

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2,4-dichloro-6-methoxyquinazoline, (38.3 g, 0.19M assuming 100% yield from previous step), N-methylaniline (19.26 g, 0.18M), sodium acetate (16.4 g, 0.2M) in tetrahydrofuran (2 liters) and water (1 liter) was stirred at room temperature for 8 days. Reaction was then concentrated to low volume (about 500 ml) and an oil separated out which solidified. The solid was filtered off and extracted with dichloromethane. Silica gel column chromatography followed by evaporation to dryness gave a residue which was washed with 40-60° petroleum ether (to remove trace impurity) to yield title compound (31.25 g) m.p. 133°-134°.
