A flask was charged with 4-phenylquinazolin-2(1H)-one (110 g, 0.51 mol) and phosphorus oxychloride (300 mL), and the mixture was stirred at 105° C. for 30 min. The reaction mixture was cooled to rt and slowly poured over an ice/water mixture. The solid was collected by filtration, washed with water (50 mL) and dried under reduced pressure.
