Abstract  The novel 6,7,8-trimethoxy N-substituted-4-aminoquinazoline compounds were synthesized by the reaction of 6,7,8-trimethoxy-4-chloroquinazoline with aryl amines refluxing in i-propanol, starting from gallic acid that is natural materials. The structures of title products were characterized by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and elemental analysis. Meanwhile, the preliminary research for the effects of reaction conditions on intermediates synthesis was performed.

1. INTRODUCTION          
In recent years, quinazoline compounds take on good biological activity in medicine and pesticide. As part of our ongoing research program on heterocyclic compounds which may serve as leads in designing novel antitumor agents regarding PD153035 [4-(3-bromophenyl)amino- 6,7-dimethoxyquinazoline] as leading compound, we were particularly interested in 4-substituted quinazolines[1-3]. We considered the well known activity of the quinazoline nucleus in chemotherapy, while many of its substituted derivatives are effective antitumor agents[4-7]. Furthermore, more recent data have been reported that a broad class of quinazolines also act as potent and highly selective inhibitors of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) or epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase (EGFR-TK)[8-10]; members of this class are expected to have great therapeutic potential in the treatment of malignant and nonmalignant epithelial diseases [11,12]. In view of these facts, and in order to study the influence of 4- and 8-site substituted on antitumor activity, we have prepared a series of novel 6,7,8-trimethoxy-4-aryl aminoquinazolines starting from gallic acid that is natural material (Scheme 1), in the hope of discovering more active ATP site inhibitors.

Unless otherwise indicated, all common reagents and solvents were used as obtained from commercial supplies without further purification. All melting points of the products were determined by a XT-4 binocular microscope (Beijing Tech Instrument Co., China) and were not corrected. The infrared spectra were recorded on a Bruker VECTOR22 spectrometer using KBr disks. 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectra were performed on a Varian-Inova 500 MHz spectrometer at room temperature with DMSO-d6 as solvent and TMS as internal standard. D2O exchange was used to confirm the assignment of the signals of NH protons. Elemental analysis was performed on an Elementar Vario-III CHN analyzer. The following compounds were prepared as described in the literature: 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoic acid (2): white solid, yield 81.4%, mp 159-161 ºC (lit.

3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
3.1 The selection of nitration route
In the first imagining, we thought that 2-amino-3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoic acid (6) was synthesized by etherification, nitration, and then hydrolyzation, deoxidization starting from gallic acid (1) as raw material. But, 3,4,5-trimethoxynitrobenzene was obtained instead of 2-nitro-3,4,5- trimethoxybenzoic acid (5) in nitration step, conforming the results by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and elemental analysis. The mechanism of decarboxylation may be seen in Scheme 2. So, 2-nitro-3,4,5- trimethoxybenzoic acid (5) was synthesized by etherification, esterification, and then nitration, hydrolyzation starting from gallic acid (1) as raw material. Decarboxylation can be easily avoided using this method.

Scheme 2

3.2 The selection of nitration reagent
It can be found from Table 1 that different nitration reagents and reaction solvents affected the yield of methyl 2-nitro-3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoate (4). It is very clear that there were better yield with fuming nitric acid than that yield with concentrated nitric acid as nitration reagent when the same solvent is acetic acid. When the solvent was changed from acetic acid, concentrated sulphuric acid to without solvent, the yield of nitration was still lower than that the yield with fuming nitric acid as nitration reagent.

3.3 Selection of deoxidization route                                                
If methyl 2-nitro-3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoate (4) was deacidized
straightforward, methyl 2-amino-3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoate expected could not be obtained, instead its salt stannic chloride (10) formed (Scheme 3).

    Finally, 2-amino-3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoic acid (6) was synthesized by etherification, esterification, nitration, hydrolyzation, deoxidization, starting from gallic acid (1) as raw material. The synthesis of 6 was described in the text.

4. CONCLUSION
Fourteen novel 6,7,8-trimethoxy N-substituted-4-aminequinazoline compounds were synthesized starting from gallic acid that is natural material. All of the structures of title products were characterized by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and elemental analysis. Meanwhile, the preliminary research for the effects of reaction conditionson intermediates synthesis was performed.
