Nitric Acid → 6-Nitroquinazoline

Participants

Reaction Steps

Quinazoline (2 g) was nitrated with 25 mL of mixture of nitric acid 90%, 10 mL) and sulfuric acid (+20% SO3, 15 mL) at 0° C. for 20 minutes, and then at ambient temperature for 1 hour. The mixture was then poured on ice, neutralized with KOH and the pH was adjusted to 8 with K2CO3 (pH 8). Filtration and recrystallization from EtOH yielded the crystalline product 6-nitroquinazoline (1.7 g).
