Reaction Steps

Into a round bottom flask was added 2-aminoterephthalic acid (0.83 g, 4.6 mmol) and urea (2.75 g, 45.8 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated to 160° C. and stirred overnight. The mixture was cooled to rt, water added and the solid was filtered. The solid was then washed with acetic acid to afford 2,4-dioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinazoline-7-carboxylic acid (0.87 g, 92%).
