Triethyl orthoacetate → 4(3H)-Quinazolinone, 2-methyl-3-phenyl-

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-amino-N-phenyl-benzamide 26 (2 g, 0.009 mol) and 1,1,1-triethoxy-ethane (5.2 mL, 0.028 mol) were heated for 5 hours. The reaction mixture was poured into water, filtered off, washed with water yielding 2-methyl-3-phenyl-3H-quinazolin-4-one 27 (1.6 g, 82%). After recrystallization it was used in next step without further purification.
