Hydrochloric Acid → Ethyl 6-fluoro-4-oxo-3,4-dihydroquinazoline-2-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of ethyl ((2-(aminocarbonyl)-4-fluorophenyl)amino)(oxo)acetate (1.50 g, 5.90 mmol) in ethanol (30 mL) was added dropwise sodium ethylate (20% ethanol solution, 2.40 g, 7.08 mmol) under ice-cooling, and the mixture was stirred for 2 hr. The reaction mixture was adjusted to pH 3-4 with 1N hydrochloric acid, and the precipitated insoluble material was collected by filtration. The filtered cake was washed with water and ethanol to give the title compound as a white powder (1.05 g, 75%).
