E. Erba et al., nu-triazolines. Part 41. A new synthesis of 2-alkylquinazolines and 2,9-dialkylpyrimido[4,5-b]indoles, J CHEM S P1, (4), 1999, pp. 421-425
2-Alkylquinazolines were obtained from amidines by reaction with ammonia. T
he synthesis has been applied to the preparation of 2,9-dialkylpyrimido[4,5
-b]indoles, in a one pot reaction, from 1-alkyl-2-azidoindole-3-carbaldehyd
es, a secondary amine and aldehydes and reaction with ammonia.
