“…The synthesis of octahydro-quinazolin-2,5-diones has attracted the attention of chemists because of their highly potent antibacterial activity against many kinds of bacteria including Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa [3]. Furthermore, they have demonstrated calcium antagonist activity [4][5][6]. Several methods have been reported for the synthesis of octahydro-quinazolin-2,5-diones from aromatic aldehydes, dimedone, and urea, involving the use of catalysts such as NH 4 [15,16].…”
