Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of iron (113.9 g), conc. hydrochloric acid (57 ml) and water (2.3 liters) was stirred at 95° C. for 20 minutes. To the mixture was added during 10 minutes 4-amino-6-nitroquinazoline (114.1 g). The reaction mixture was stirred at 95° C. for an hour and a half and then filtered. The filter cake was washed with hot water. The combined filtrate and washings were concentrated under reduced pressure to give a residue, to which was added a small volume of ethanol to give precipitates. The precipitates were separated by filtration and dried to give 4,6-diaminoquinazoline hydrochloride (94.8 g). The same compound (4.3 g) was recovered from the mother liquor in the same manner as mentioned above.
