Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-amino-5-iodobenzoic acid (26.3 g, 100 mmol) and formamidine acetate (13.5 g, 130 mmol) in ethanol (400 mL) was refluxed for 20 hours. After cooling to 0° C., the solid product was collected by filtration. Further drying in vacuo provided 6-iodo-4-quinazolinone (22.0 g, 81%) as a grey crystalline solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz; DMSO-d6) δ: 12.38 (br. s, 1H), 8.35 (d, 1H), 8.05-8.10 (m, 2H), 7.43 (dd, 1H). LRMS: 272.9 (MH+).
