Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 4-oxo-3,4-dihydroquinazoline-6-carboxylic acid (2.5 g, 13.15 mmol) in methanol (80 mL) was added thionyl chloride (2.5 mL) at 5° C. The mixture was refluxed at 80° C. over night. The reaction mixture was concentrated under vacuum and crude taken in ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with 10% aqueous NaHCO3, water, brine and dried. The solvent was removed to give methyl 4-oxo-3,4-dihydroquinazoline-6-carboxylate in 55% as solid.
