Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-amino-4-iodobenzamide (1.0 g, 3.61 mmol) in glacial acetic acid (10 mL) at rt was added diethyl oxalate (5 mL). The mixture was heated at 120° C. for 24 h. The mixture was cooled to rt and diluted with H2O until a precipitate formed. The precipitate was removed by filtration, washed with H2O, and dried under high vacuum for several hours to afford ethyl 7-iodo-4-oxo-3,4-dihydroquinazoline-2-carboxylate (1.0 g, 76%) as a tan solid. 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 1.36 (t, 3H), 4.48 (q, 2H), 7.90 (d, 1H), 7.95 (d, 1H), 8.20 (d, 1H), 8.28 (s, 1H), 12.78 (s, 1H); LC-MS (ESI) m/z 330 (M+H)+.
