Neurotensinreceptor 1 (NTR1) is a G protein coupled receptor that is widely expressed throughout the central nervous system where it acts as a neuromodulator. Neurotensinreceptors have been implicated in a wide variety of CNS disorders, but despite extensive efforts to develop small molecule ligands there are few reports of such compounds. Herein we describe the optimization of a quinazoline based
The synthesis of 2,4-disubstituted quinazolines by a palladium-catalyzed reaction of arylboronic acids with N-(2-cyanoaryl)benzamides has been developed with moderate to excellent yields. The method shows good functional group tolerance. In particular, halogen and hydroxyl substituents, which are amenable for further synthetic elaborations, are well tolerated. Moreover, the present synthetic route
