SYNTHESIS OF 2-AMINOQUINAZOLINES FROM ORTHO-FLUOROKETONES

The reactions of ten ortho-fluoroketones with guanidine carbonate in N,N-dimethylacetamide were investigated as a new synthetic approach to 2-amino-4-alkyl- and 2-amino-4-arylquinazolines. The yields obtained ranged from low to moderate and were highly dependent upon the nature of the substituents on the reactant. Eight new quinazolines were elaborated in this study.
