Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of methyl 2-amino-4,6-dimethoxybenzoate (6.46 g, 30.6 mmol), formamidine acetate (15.92 g, 153 mmol) in 2-methoxyethanol (50 mL) was heated at 130° C. for 4 hours. After the solvent was removed under reduced pressure, the reaction was quenched with water, filtered, washed with water, and dried under vacuum with P2O5 to afford 5,7-dimethoxyquinazolin-4(3H)-one as a solid (4.805 g, 76%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 11.7 (br, 1H), 7.98 (s, 1H), 6.72 (d, 1H), 6.60 (d, 1H), 3.92 (s, 3H), 3.88 (s, 3H); LC-MS (ESI) m/z 207 (M+H)+.
