Jg. Samaritoni et Ge. Babbitt, SYNTHESIS OF 2-(4-QUINAZOLINYL)ETHYL SULFIDES VIA ADDITION OF THIOLS TO 4-VINYLQUINAZOLINES, Journal of heterocyclic chemistry, 34(4), 1997, pp. 1263-1266
Reaction of vinyl and isopropenyl Grignard reagents with quinazoline r
esults in addition to the 3,4-imine bond to give the 4-alkenyldihydroq
uinazolines 4 which are conveniently aromatized with potassium ferricy
anide to the 4-alkenylquinazolines 5. Quinazolines 5 undergo addition
with thiols under neutral conditions to afford the quinazolinylethyl s
ulfides 2 in moderate yields.
