2-Fluoro substituted benzoyl chlorides undergo cyclocondensation with 2-ami
no-N-heterocycles to form 4(3H)-quinazolinones. The reaction proceeds in mo
derate yields with different combinations of benzoyl chlorides and 2-amino-
N-heterocycles, The products generally precipitate from the reaction mixtur
e and require no further purification. Two tetrafluoro quinazolinones were
found to be moderately active against a number of tumor cell lines. (C) 200
