6-(Benzyloxy)-7-methoxy-4(1H)-quinazolinone(CAS: 286371-64-0)

6-(Benzyloxy)-7-methoxy-4(1H)-quinazolinone is a white crystalline solid with a molecular weight of approximately 326.32 g/mol. It is sparingly soluble in water but soluble in common organic solvents such as methanol and ethanol. The compound is moderately reactive, displaying typical quinazolinone properties with limited reactivity towards common nucleophiles.

6-(Benzyloxy)-7-methoxy-4(1H)-quinazolinone is typically synthesized via the condensation of 2-(benzyloxy)acetyl chloride with 7-methoxyquinazoline in the presence of a base such as triethylamine. The reaction is carried out at room temperature, and the yield is generally good with moderate to high selectivity.

This compound is primarily used in the pharmaceutical industry for its potential as an antifungal and antiviral agent. It may also have applications in the polymer industry for its ability to modify polymer properties and in the semiconductor industry for its use in organic electronics.

When handling 6-(Benzyloxy)-7-methoxy-4(1H)-quinazolinone, it is important to wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, safety goggles, and a lab coat. Work should be conducted in a well-ventilated area or a fume hood. Spills should be cleaned up carefully following standard procedures, and the material safety data sheet (MSDS) should be consulted for detailed information on handling and storage.
