Ethanol → 3-(3-fluoro-4-methoxyphenyl)-3,4-dihydroquinazolin-2(1H)-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred suspension of crude N-(2-aminobenzyl)-3-fluoro-4-methoxyaniline (246 mg, 1 mmol) in 10 mL toluene at 0° C. under a drying tube was added phosgene solution (20% in toluene, 683 μL, 1.30 mmol). The cooling bath was removed and the reaction allowed to warm to room temperature over 30 minutes. The solution was then warmed to reflux. After 1 hour, the reaction was concentrated to dryness and the residue dissolved in a minimum of hot 95% EtOH. A precipitate formed which was isolated by filtration with 95% EtOH and dried to give a tan solid (65 mg, 24%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.23 (m, 1H), 7.14 (m, 1H), 7.08 (m, 2H), 7.01 (m, 2H), 6.81 (d, 1H), 4.80 (s, 2H), 3.91 (s, 3H).
