Ammonium formate → HCID 136210639, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A stirred solution of 7-nitro-2-(2-propoxyphenyl)-4(3H)-quinazolinone (3.0 g) in dry methanol (450 ml) was treated sequentially under a carbon dioxide atmosphere with 5% Pd/C (1.5 g) and anhydrous ammonium formate (2.8 g). After 60 minutes solids were removed by filtration and the filtrate evaporated to dryness. The residue was partitioned between water and dichloromethane, the organic layer separated, dried (magnesium sulphate) and evaporated. The residue was recrystallised from diethyl ether-petroleum ether to give 7-amino-2-(2-propoxyphenyl)-4(3H)-quinazolinone, 2.7 g, m.p. 185° C.
