“…In accordance with the significance of quinazolin-4(3H)-ones, numerous synthetic methods have been developed for the construction of these kinds of fused heterocycles: (a) The most common synthetic method to 2,3-substituted quinazolin-4(3H)-ones are based on the acylation-cyclisation of anthranilic acid or its derivative and proceed usually via an o-aminobenzamide intermediate [25]; (b) Usually, 4H-benzo[d] [1,3]oxazin-4-ones are valuable starting materials for the synthesis of variety of 2,3-disubstituted quinazolin-4(3H)-ones [26]; (c) Initial synthesis of 3-substituted 2-thio-2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4(1H)-one from methoxyaniline or methylanthranilate via thiourea intermediate followed by hydrazinolysis or aminolysis affords 2,3-substituted quinazolin-4(3H)-one [27]; (d) Recently, synthesis of 2,3-disubstituted quinazolin-4(3H)-ones via a one-pot, three component reaction of isatoic anhydride and an orthoester with ammonium acetate or a primary amine catalyzed by silica sulfuric acid under solvent-free conditions have been developed [28]. Unfortunately, some of these reported methods suffer from drawbacks like forcing conditions, long reaction times, unsatisfactory yields, cumbersome product isolation procedures and synthesis in multi-step synthetic programs.…”
