1,1,1-Trimethoxy-2-chloroethane → 7-Bromo-2-(chloromethyl)quinazolin-4-ol

Participants

Reaction Steps

Reflux a solution of 2-amino-4-bromobenzamide (27 g, 0.13 mol; see Joshi and Chaudhari, (1987) Indian J. Chem., Sect. B, 26B(6):602–4) in 2-chloro-1,1,1-trimethoxyethane (50 mL) for 30 minutes, during which time a large precipitate appears. Evaporate the mixture fully and triturate with ether to collect 28 g of 7-bromo-2-chloromethyl-3H-quinazolin-4-one as a white solid.
