Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-chloroquinazolin-8-ol (1 eq) in chloroform was added N-chlosuccinimide (1 eq) and the resulting mixture was heated to 40° C. for 2 h. The chlorination goes to completion giving 2,5-dichloroquinazolin-8-ol in 65% yield. 25% of the reaction was 2,7-dichloroquinazolin-8-ol and 15% of the reaction mixture was 2,5,8-trichloro quinazolin-8-ol. The reaction mixture was concentrated and the crude was purified by silica gel. The structures of the isomers were confirmed by 1H NMR and by LC/MS. ES/MS m/z 215 (MH+).
