Abstract: | Nitration of 2-amino-4-oxo-(3H)-5-trifluoromethylquinazoline is shown to occur exclusively at C6 as determined from an analysis of long range 1H and 19F scalar couplings to ring carbons. Nitration of 2-amino-4-oxo-(3H)-5-fluoroquinazoline is found to occur both at C6 and C8 as evident from an analysis of the 19F and 1H couplings of the ring protons. |
