Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Into a 3.0 L four necked round bottomed flask, equipped with a mechanical stirrer, reflux condenser, pressure equalizing addition funnel and thermometer socket are charged chloroform (1000 ml), 6,7-diacetoxy-4(3H)-quinazolinone (50 g) obtained by the process described in step (ii) above and dimethylformamide (2 ml). Oxalyl chloride (50 g) was slowly added in about 20-30 minutes. The reaction mass was slowly heated to reflux temperature and maintained at reflux temperature for 6 hours. Reaction was found to be over by HPLC. Cooled the reaction mass to 25-30° C. and slowly quenched into saturated sodium bicarbonate solution at less than 10° C. Separated the organic layer and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The dried organic layer thus obtained was directly used in the next step without any purification.
