Treatment of 6a,b with hydrazine hydrate or phenyl hydrazine in refluxing ethanol afforded the corresponding pyrazolin-5-one derivatives of 3H-quinazolin-4-one 9a-d. Cyclization of 7a,b with hydrazine hydrate yielded the corresponding products 10a,b. Reaction of 8a,b with phenyl hydrazine or with urea afforded the corresponding derivatives 11a,b and 12a,b, respectively. Compounds 6-12 were identified by C,H,N analysis, IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and mass spectroscopy. %K 3-(4-Aminophenyl)-2-methyl-3H-quinazolin-4-one %K bromo derivative %K active methylene compounds %K cyclization %K nitrogen nucleophiles %U http://www.mdpi.com/1420-3049/8/4/363
