Chemicals Used
Oxazepam, 99.5% as per BP
Mix xylene, commercial
Procedure
Oxazepam (10 g, 34.87 mmol) was added to xylene (50 mL) in a 250 mL Dean-Stark apparatus under nitrogen atmosphere. Reaction mixture was refluxed and the progress of the reaction was monitored by TLC. After 24 h, the reaction mixture was cooled to 5-8 oC and the white crystals thus obtained was filtered and dried under vacuum for 6 h at 70-75 oC to get 6-Chloro-4-phenyl-2-quinazoline carboxaldehyde as white crystalline product (8.9 g, 96 %) which is practically pure and does not require further purification.
Author's Comments
1. This reaction is similar to
SP544 except that
Oxazepam requires higher temperature (xylene reflux) where as Lorazepam rearrangement occours in toluene.
2. This is a clean procedure for the synthesis of -
6-Chloro-4-phenyl-2-quinazoline carboxaldehyde. Other than xylene no other reagent is used in the reaction.
