Oxalyl chloride → 6,7-Diacetoxy-4-chloro-quinazoline

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6,7-diacetoxy-4(3H)-quinazolinone, 12 (3.20 g, 11.42 mmol) in CHCl3 (60 ml) was added oxalyl chloride (2.2 ml, 17.3 mmol) dropwise at 0° C. The resulting reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 15 minutes then was gradually heated to reflux for 5 h during which time the starting material was consumed. The reaction mixture was cooled to 10° C. and the solution was quenched with aq sodium bicarbonate. The organic layer was separated and washed with brine then dried over Na2SO4 and directly taken to the next step without concentration.
