RESUMO
OBJECTIVE:To improve the synthesis technology of 7-methoxy-4-(2-methyl-4-quinazolinyl)-3,4-dihydroquinoxalin-2 (1H)-ketone. METHODS:Using 2-methyl-4(3H)-quinazolone as starting material,the synthesis technology of 7-methoxy-4-(2-methyl-4-quinazolinyl)-3,4-dihydroquinoxalin-2(1H)-ketone was improved by clorination, nucleophilic substitution, diarylamine alkylation and nitro reductive cyclization. The yield of it was investigated. RESULTS:The structure of 7-methoxy-4-(2-methyl-4-quinazolinyl)-3,4-dihydroquinoxalin-2(1H)-ketone had been verified by 1H-NMR and ESI-MS. The yield was 43.5%and improved by 23.3% compared to 20.2% before improvement. CONCLUSIONS:Improved technology is simpler and milder, which is suitable for the batch preparation of laboratory study.
