Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

20 g (101.7 mmol) 7-chloro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinazoline-2,4-dione were dissolved in 100 ml of conc. sulphuric acid and treated with 7 ml of conc. nitric acid. The mixture was heated to 100° C. for 10 min. After cooling the reaction mixture was poured on to ice-water. The precipitate was filtered off, dried in a high vacuum and recrystallized from acetic acid. 13.3 g (54%) of 7-chloro-6-nitro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinazoline-2,4-dione were obtained as beige crystals;
