Basic information
3,4-Dihydro-7-methoxy-4-oxoquinazolin-6-yl acetate (CAS: 179268-65-4) is a critical core building block utilized in the commercial synthesis route of Gefitinib (Iressa), an EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor widely indicated for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
At Joy Biotech, we provide commercial-scale supply with batch-to-batch consistency and an analytical purity of ≥ 99.0% (HPLC). Manufactured under strict ISO/cGMP-aligned quality management systems, our intermediate guarantees reliable conversion yields and minimal residual impurity profiles during subsequent quinazoline ring functionalization steps.
B2B Advantage & Regulatory Support:
Fully supported with comprehensive technical dossier packages including CoA, HPLC, Mass Spec (MS), 1H-NMR spectra, stability data, and Drug Master File (DMF) documentation to accelerate your regulatory submission and commercial API manufacturing.
