A highly efficient, Iron nitrate/TEMPO-catalyzed approach for the synthesis of quinazolinones has been achieved via a onepot, tandem aerobic oxidative cyclization of primary alcohols with 2-aminobenzamides. This practical reaction tolerates a broad scope of substrates and could afford a variety of desirable products in good to excellent yields with air as the terminal green oxidant. Thus, the present synthetic protocol provides an efficient and concise strategy for the synthesis of quinazolinones.Scheme 1. Examples of synthetic and natural quinazolinones.
A highly efficient, one-pot Cu(OAc)2/Cs2CO3-catalyzed protocol for the aerobic oxidative synthesis of quinazolinones from readily available benzyl alcohols and 2-aminobenzonitriles with molecular oxygen as the terminal oxidant has been successfully developed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
