Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 45 g of 1-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)-4-phenyl-6-chloro-3,4-dihydro-2(1H)-quinazolinone in 450 ml. of acetic acid was added dropwise at room temperature a solution of 13.2 g of chromium trioxide in 13.2 ml. of water. The mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight and then poured into 2 l of water. The resultant precipitate was collected by filtration, washed successively with diluted ammonia water and water, and dried to give 1-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)-4-phenyl-6-chloro-2(1H)-quinazolinone quantitatively.
