Water → 7-bromo-2-methoxyquinazolin-4(3H)-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of o-methylisourea hydrochloride (1.256 g, 11.36 mmol) and 4-bromoisatoic anhydride (2.500 g, 10.33 mmol) in 10 mL DMF was treated with sodium ethoxide (1.476 g, 21.69 mmol) and was allowed to stir at room temperature overnight. LC/MS showed mostly product, so the reaction mixture was poured into water and the resulting solid was filtered and dried yielding 7-bromo-2-methoxyquinazolin-4(3H)-one (2.57 g, 10.08 mmol, 98% yield) with impurities. (M+H)+=255.0.
