Phosphorus oxychloride → 6-Bromo-2-chloroquinazoline

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 6-bromoquinazolin-2-ol (9.72 g, 40 mmol) in phosphorus oxychloride (100 mL) was refluxed for 5 hours. The reaction was cooled to room temperature, and most of phosphorus oxychloride was removed under reduced pressure. The residue was dropwise added to ice water (500 mL), and the resulting precipitate was collected by the filtration to give the title compound (9 g, 87%) as a yellow solid. MS (ES+) C8H3BrClFN2 requires: 260, 262, found: 261, 263 [M+H]+.
