Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2 g (10 mmol) of 2-amino-4,6-dichlorobenzoic acid and 1.6 g (30 mmol) of urea was heated to 160° C. for 2 hrs. and at 180° C. for a further 2 hrs. The resulting brown mass was triturated with 200 ml of methanol, filtered off and dried in a vacuum. 880 mg (40%) of 5,7-dichloro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinazoline-2,4-dione were obtained as beige crystals;
