Abstract:
Condensation of 2-(E)-pent-3-en-2-yl]-4-, 2-(E)-pent-2-en-2-yl]-4-, or 2-(cyclopent-1-enyl)-6-methylaniline with 1-chloro-1-(N-methylimino)- or 1-chloro-1-(N-phenylimino)ethane affords the corresponding amidines. Cyclization of the N-methylimino derivatives in polyphosphoric acid gives 3,4-dihydroquinazolines in high yields.
