1,4-Dioxane → 8-Hydroxy-quinazoline-2-carboxaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of 8-hydroxy-2-methyl-quinazoline (A3) (5 mmol) in dioxane (10 mL) was added dropwise over 3 h into a stirred mixture of SeO2 (8.8 mmol) in dioxane (30 mL) at 50° C. The resulting mixture was then heated at 80° C. for 16 h, allowed to cool, and the solids filtered off. The filtrate was concentrated and purified via column chromatography on silica (dichloromethane/MeOH, 40:1). This afforded 8-hydroxy-quinazoline-2-carboxaldehyde (2) as a solid.
