Ammonium Acetate → 6,7-Bis(2-methoxyethoxy)quinazolin-4(3H)-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a 10-mL volume stainless steel pressure-resistant vessel were placed 1.02 g (3.3 mmol) of ethyl 4,5-bis(2-methoxyethoxy)anthranilate, 0.96 g (9.1 mmol) of methyl orthoformate, 0.69 g (9.1 mmol) of ammonium acetate, and 5.0 mL of methanol. The reaction was carried out at 110° C. for 6 hours. After the reaction was complete, the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and concentrated under reduced pressure. Then, the concentrate was recrystallized from 20 mL of methanol. The crystalline product was collected by filtration and dried under reduced pressure to give 0.87 g (isolated yield: 91%) of 6,7-bis(2-methoxyethoxy)quinazolin-4-one as a white crystalline product.
