Acetic Acid → 2-Chloro-6-nitroquinazolin-4(1H)-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

Aqueous 2M NaOH (22.2 mL, 44.4 mmol) was added to 2,4-dichloro-6-nitro-quinazoline (3.61 g, 14.8 mmol). The mixture was sonicated, stirred at room temperature for 3 h, and filtered, rinsing with water (60 mL). Acetic acid (3.81 mL, 66.6 mmol) was added to the filtrate to yield a precipitate, which was collected and dried in a vacuum oven to yield the titled compound (2.99 g, 90% yield). This compound did not yield MS data. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): 9.07 (s, 1H), 8.56 (d, J=8.9 Hz, 1H), 7.78 (d, J=8.8 Hz, 1H).
