4,5-Difluoroanthranilic acid (I) is coupled with ammonium hydroxide upon activation with diphenylphosphoryl chloride to furnish the amino benzamide (II) (1). Subsequent cyclization of anthranilamide (II) with trimethyl orthoformate produces quinazolone (III), which is converted into the chloroquinazoline (IV) by using either POCl3 or SOCl2. Condensation of (IV) with 3,4-methylenedioxy-benzylamine (V) affords the aminoquinazoline derivative (VI). Then, regioselective displacement of the 7-fluorine atom in (VI) with piperazine (VII) in hot 1-butanol gives rise to the title compound (1,2).
