Title compound can be prepared as follows: 1) 6,7-Dimethoxyquinazolin-2,4-dione (I) is converted to 2,4-dichloro 6,7-dimethoxyquinazoline (II), followed by selective displacement of the 4-chloro group with ammonia to give 4-amino-2-chloro-6,7-dimethoxyquinazoline (III). 2) 3-(Methylamino)propanenitrile (IV) is reacted with the mixed anhydride obtained from tetrahydrofuran-2-carboxylic acid and ethyl chloroformate to form the amide (V), which on hydrogenation over rhodium at 80 C in the presence of ammonia affords the required secondary amine (VI) via rearrangement of the initially formed primary amine (VII). Condensation of amine (VI) with 4-amino-2-chloro-6,7-dimethoxyquinazoline (III) in refluxing amyl alcohol gives alfuzosin hydrochloride.
