A useful and rapid access to 4-anilino-6-nitroquinazolines was investigated in a multi-gram scale via microwave-accelerated condensation and Dimroth rearrangement of the starting anilines with imines obtained by reaction of anthranilonitriles with formamide dimethylacetal. A novel short and efficient route to AZiXa (TM) (EPi28495, MPC-6827), a microtubule destabilizing agent and apoptosis inducer, was performed with success demonstrating that well controlled parameters offer comfortable using of microwave technology with safe and environmental benefits.
