General description

2-Amino-4-chlorobenzonitrile (2A4CBN) is a benzonitrile derivative. A study of the molecular structure, vibrational spectra and NBO analysis of 2A4CBN has been undertaken. Transformation of 2A4CBN into quinazoline-2,4(1H,3H)-diones at atmospheric pressure of CO2 in the presence of monomeric tungstate, TBA2[WO4] (TBA = tetra-n-butylammonium) has been reported.

Application

2-Amino-4-chlorobenzonitrile may be used in the preparation of the following:
  • 6-chloro-4-(1-diethylamino-4-pentylamino)-2-(p-methoxyphenyl)-quinazoline dihydrochloride
  • 7-chloro-4-(1-diethylamino-4-pentylamino)-2-(p-methoxyphenyl)-quinazoline dihydrochloride
  • 4,7-dichloro-2-(2-methylprop-1-enyl)-6-nitroquinazoline
  • 6-chlorotacrine
  • N-(2-chloro-5-cyanophenyl)-4,4,4-trifluorobutanamide
