Phosphorus oxychloride → 4-Chloro-8-iodo-7-methylquinazoline

Participants

Reaction Steps

Phosphorous oxychloride (19.5 mL, 210 mmol) and 8-iodo-7-methylquinazolin-4(3H)-one (2.00 g, 6.99 mmol) were added to a round bottomed flask. The reaction mixture was heated at reflux for 2 h. Upon cooling, excess POCl3 was removed under reduced pressure and the remaining crude product dissolved in DCM (100 mL) and washed with ice-cold water (300 mL) to remove excess acid. The crude residue dissolved in DCM was then dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo to give 4-chloro-8-iodo-7-methylquinazoline (1.96 g, 92%) as an amorphous brown solid. MS (M+H)+ 305.
