Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Amino-4-chloroquinazoline (0.64 g, 0.0036 mol) was heated to 170° in o-toluidine (1 ml, 0.008 mol) for 1 hour. The reaction mixture was dissolved in ethanol, stripped and partitioned between chloroform and NaOH solution (pH 9). The organic solution was dried, filtered and excess solvent removed to give an oil which afforded crystals of 2-amino-4-(2-methylphenylamino)-quinazoline (0.55 g, 62%) m.p. 273°-275° (from ethanol).
