2,6-Lutidine → 7-Bromo-4-chloro-2-(chloromethyl)quinazoline

Participants

Reaction Steps

Heat a mixture of 7-bromo-2-chloromethyl-3H-quinazolin-4-one (5 g, 18.2 mmol), 2,6-lutidine (5 g), and phosphorus oxychloride (5 mL) in 1,2-dimethoxyethane (500 mL) at 80° C. for 16 hours. Cool the mixture to room temperature and fully evaporate the mixture, then dilute with ether and wash with water. Dry the solvent (Na2SO4) and evaporate the ether to obtain 7-bromo-4-chloro-2-chloromethylquinazoline (3.5 g) as a yellow solid.
