Dimethylformamide → HCID 12812379, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2.9 g of 2-(m-nitroanilino)benzoic acid methyl ester and 20ml of dry dimethylformamide was added 0.43 g of sodium amide, and the whole was stirred for 30 minutes. To this was added dropwise under cooling 2.6 g of propyl isocyanate. This mixture was allowed to stand for one hour at room temperature and for additional one hour at 60° C, and then reacted for 4 hours at 120° C. The solvent was distilled off from the mixture under reduced pressure. To the residue obtained was added water to precipitate a crude product. This product was recrystallized from methanol to produce 2.4 g of 1-(m-nitrophenyl)-3-propylquinazoline-2,4(1H, 3H)-dione as colorless needles, melting at 162°-163° C.
