Investigation into selective debenzylation and ring cleavage of quinazoline based heterocycles

The selective cleavage of different benzyl bonds within tetrahydroquinazoline and dihydroquinazolinone derived structures can be achieved by the usage of different reduction and debenzylation conditions thereby providing selective removal of O-benzyl protection groups as well as the cleavage of the ring structure within the quinazoline and quinazolinone systems.
