Reaction Steps

2-Amino-3,6-difluorobenzamide (2.0 g, 11.6 mmol), ammonium sulfate (0.15 g, 1.16 mmol), triethylorthoformate (4.3 g, 4.8 mL, 29.1 mmol) and acetic anhydride (3.0 g, 2.8 mL, 29.1 mmol) were combined in a 100 mL round bottomed flask and the mixture heated to 145° C. on a heating mantle, becoming nearly homogeneous around 90° C., then precipitating additional solid. After 1 h, the mixture was cooled to room temperature and diluted with water and stirred. The precipitated solids were collected by filtration, washed with water and dried to give 1.95 g of 5,8-difluoroquinazolin-4-ol as a white solid. A second crop of 0.13 g was collected from the cold concentrated filtrate, 98% overall. M.P. 257-258° C., LC/MS (ESI) m/z 182, 1H NMR (300 MHz, d6-DMSO) δ 12.48 (bs, 1H), 8.13 (s, 1H), 7.70 (m, 1H), 7.27 (m, 1H).
