Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A heterogeneous mixture of 2-amino-4-fluorobenzoic acid (8.7 g, 56 mmol) and formamidine acetate (29.2 g, 280 mmol) was stirred and heated at 165° C. for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was suspended in water and the mixture was carefully basified with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution followed by stirring for 1 hour. The brown solid was collected by filtration, washed with water and air dried to afford 8.42 g (91%) of 7-fluoroquinazolin-4(3H)-one. MS 165.0 (ES+).
