Ethylamine → N-(3,4-dihydro-2-methyl-4-oxoquinazolin-6-ylmethyl) N-ethylamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 6 bromomethyl 3,4 dihydro-2-methylquinazolin-4-one (prepared as described in Example 3; 10 g), anhydrous ethylamine (7.9 ml) and acetonitrile (250 ml) was stirred rapidly at laboratory temperature for 4 hours. The mixture was evaporated to dryness, the residue was dissolved in water, filtered and the filtrate was evaporated. The residue was triturated in acetone to give N-(3,4-dihydro-2-methyl-4-oxoquinazolin-6-ylmethyl) N-ethylamine, as its hydrobromide salt (8.5 g), m.p. >260° C.
