Abstract: A 4-aminoquinazoline derivative can be obtained by the steps of reacting quinazolin-4-one or its derivative with a chlorinating agent in a first organic solvent in the presence of an organic base, and subsequently reacting the reaction product with an amine compound represented by the formula R5—NH—R6 (each of R5 and R6 represents hydrogen or an optionally substituted hydrocarbyl group) in the presence of a second organic solvent.

Abstract: A process for preparing quinazolin-4-one or its derivative by reacting anthranilic acid or its derivative with formic acid or its derivative in the presence of ammonia, or by reacting ammonium anthranilate or its derivative with formic acid or its derivative.

Abstract: A process for producing a quinazolin-4-one compound having the formula: [wherein R1, R2, R3 and R4 each represents a group not participating in the below-mentioned reaction, and R1, R2, R3 and R4 can be combined together to form a ring] which comprises reacting an anthranilic acid derivative having the formula: [wherein R5 is a hydrogen atom or a hydrocarbyl group] with a formic acid derivative in the presence of an ammonium carboxylate.

Abstract: 2-Cyclopropyl-4-(4?-fluorophenyl)quinoline-3-carboxyaldehyde useful as a material for pharmaceutical products, can be obtained by reacting 3-cyclopropyl-3-oxopropanenitrile with 2-amino-4?-fluorobenzophenone to obtain 2-cyclopropyl-4-(4?-fluorophenyl)quinoline-3-carbonitrile, and reducing it.

Abstract: 2-Cyclopropyl-4-(4′-fluorophenyl)quinoline-3-carboxyaldehyde useful as a material for pharmaceutical products, can be obtained by reacting 3-cyclopropyl-3-oxopropanenitrile with 2-amino-4′-fluorobenzophenone to obtain 2-cyclopropyl-4-(4′-fluorophenyl)quinoline-3-carbonitrile, and reducing it.

Abstract: The present invention is to provide a process for producing a tetrahydropyranyl-4-sulfonate which comprises allowing 3-buten-1-ol which is easily available to react with a formaldehyde compound and an organic sulfonic acid, and a process for producing a 4-aminotetrahydropyrane derivative, which is industrially useful, under mild conditions and by a simple and easy method to produce the 4-aminotetrahydropyrane derivative in high yield.

Abstract: 3-[2-Cyclopropyl-4-(4-fluorophenyl)-3 quinolyl]prop-2-enal is prepared in a high yield by reducing 3-[2-cyclo-propyl-4-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-quinolyl]prop-2-enenitrile with Raney nickel either in the presence of formic acid and 0.25 to 1 part by volume of water per part by volume of formic acid or in the presence of both an amine salt of formic acid and an organic acid.

Abstract: 3-[2-Cyclopropyl-4-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-quinolyl]prop-2-enal is prepared in a high yield by reducing 3-[2-cyclopropyl-4-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-quinolyl]prop-2-enenitrite with Raney nickel either in the presence of formic acid and 0.25 to 1 part by volume of water per part by volume of formic acid or in the presence of both an amine salt of formic acid and an organic acid.

Abstract: 3-[2-Cyclopropyl-4-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-quinolyl]prop-2-enenitrile is prepared by reacting 2-cyclopropyl-4-(4-fluorophenyl)quinoline-3-carbaldehyde with acetonitrile in the presence of a base and then adding a dehydrating to the reaction mixture to conduct dehydration. Under ordinary conditions, novel 3-[2-cyclopropyl-4-(4-fluoro-phenyl)-quinolin-3-yl]-3-hydroxypropionitrile is formed as an intermediate in the above reaction. Incidentally, when the above reaction is conducted in an organic solvent, 3-[2-cyclopropyl-4-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-quinolyl]-prop-2-enenitrile is directly formed.
