2,3-Dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone → HCID 135838206, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of N-(1,2,5,6-tetrahydro-9-methoxy-1-oxobenzo[f]quinazolin-3yl)pivalamide (0.93 g, 2.84 mmoles) and 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (0.8 g, 3.5 mmoles) in dry benzene (60 ml) was refluxed under a nitrogen atmosphere for 3 hours. After cooling, benzene was removed under reduced pressure and the residue was purified on a silica gel column eluting with chloroform to give N-(1,2-dihydro-9-methoxy-1-oxobenzo[f]quinazolin-3-yl)pivalamide (0.9 g).
