Acetic Acid → 7-Fluoro-5-isopropoxy-3,4-dihydroquinazolin-4-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

5,7-Difluoroquinazolin-4(3H)one (2.73 g, 15 mmol) in dimethylformamide (20 ml) was reacted with isopropanol (1.26 ml, 16.4 mmol) and sodium hydride (1.8 g, 45 mmol) at 0° C. under argon. The mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 14 hours, acidified with acetic acid and concentrated. The residue was washed with water and dried to yield 7-fluoro-5-isopropoxyquinazolin-4(3H)-one (3.17 g, 95% yield) as a beige solid:
