Ammonia → 7-Acetamido-4-(3-bromoanilino)-6-nitroquinazoline

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 7-acetamido-6-nitro-3H-quinazolin-4-one (5.00 g, 20 mmol) in POCl3 (250 mL) is heated under reflux for 2 h, the excess of POCl3 is removed under vacuum, and the residue is dissolved in CH2Cl2 and washed with aqueous Na2CO3 solution. Workup gives the crude 4-chloro derivative, which is coupled directly with 3-bromoaniline in isopropanol as above, and the resulting hydrochloride is converted directly to the free base, by treatment with aqueous NH3, to give 7-acetamido-4-(3-bromoanilino)-6-nitroquinazoline (3.60 g, 45%). 1H NMR (DMSO) δ10.56 (1H, s), 10.29 (1H, s), 9.34 (1H, s), 8.70 (1H, s), 8.19 (1H, brs), 7.97 (1H, s), 7.88 (1H, d, J=6.0 Hz), 7.43-7.35 (2H, m), 2.13 (3H, s).
