New Straightforward Synthesis of2‐Amino‐6‐methyl‐5‐(pyridin‐4‐ylsulfanyl)‐3H‐quinazolin‐4‐one
摘要:
The synthesis of 2-amino-6-methyl-5-(pyridin-4-ylsulfanyl)-3H-quinazolin-4-one (1) was studied via three different synthetic routes starting from 4-bromo-5-methylisatin. The best route was established, which is a straightforward route via 2-guanidino-5-bromo-6-methyl-quinazolin-4-one (6) as the key intermediate and a one-pot synthesis by treatment of compound 6 with 4-mercaptopyridine and KOH via the Ullmann reaction. When removing the amidino group from 2-guanyl of compound 6 under strong alkaline conditions, surprisingly we found that 4-mercaptopyridine could prevent the bromo group on a quinazoline ring from substitution by a hydroxyl group. Furthermore we found that 4-mercaptopyridine analogues such as hydroxypyridinones also play a role of protecting agent in such a reaction system.

The use of pyridine-4-thiol (PT) to preserve certain arylbromides in strongalkali is reported (Scheme 1). The presence of this additive or of some of its amphotericanalogs such as 3-hydroxypyridin-4(1H)-ones suppresses the replacement of the Br-substituent by hydroxide and alkoxide ions. A mechanistic interpretation of the effect is proposed.
