Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 10 ml of tetrahydrofuran and 5 ml of dimethylformamide, 340 mg of potassium 3-methyl-4-oxo-3,4,5,6,7,8-hexahydroquinazoline-2-thiolate was added, followed by addition of 210 mg of methyl iodide and an overnight's stirring at room temperature. The solution was concentrated, to which chloroform was added, followed by washing with saturated brine and drying over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. Distilling the solvent off under reduced pressure, 310 mg (quantitative) of 3-methyl-2-methylthio-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-3H-quinazolin-4-one was obtained.
