Guanidine Hydrochloride → 2-Amino-7-(2-methoxy-phenyl)-7,8-dihydro-6H-quinazolin-5-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

The title compound was prepared from 2-dimethylaminomethylene-5-(2-methoxy-phenyl)-cyclohexane-1,3-dione (484 mg, 1.77 mmol) from stage 1, guanidine hydrochloride (253 mg, 2.55 mmol) and sodium carbonate (469 mg, 4.42 mmol), following the procedure described for the synthesis of 2-amino-7-(4-chloro-phenyl)-7,8-dihydro-6H-quinazolin-5-one (example 2/a stage 2) except that the mixture was heated at reflux for 2 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to ambient temperature; water (5 ml) was then added. The precipitate formed was filtered and washed with water (5 ml) to afford the title molecule as a brown powder.
