Reaction Steps

To a round bottom flask was added formamide (4 equiv., 13.5 mmol, 605 mg) and 2-amino-5-chloro-3-iodo-benzoic acid (1000 mg, 3.4 mmol). The reaction was capped and shaken at 130° C. for 72 h. The reaction was cooled to room temperature, then the precipitate was collected by filtration and washed 3× with water. The precipitate was dried under vacuum, yielding 881 mg of 6-chloro-8-iodo-3H-quinazolin-4-one as a purple solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO) δ 12.66-12.49 (s, 1H), 8.40-8.37 (d, J=2.4 Hz, 1H), 8.24-8.21 (s, 1H), 8.09-8.05 (d, J=2.4 Hz, 1H). LCMS M/Z (M+H)=307.
