Up to now, the synthesis of quinazolinones has required lengthy synthetic procedures. Here, we describe an innovative one-pot multicomponent reaction leading to highly substituted quinazolinones. We believe that this novel transformation may open the door for the generation of new and pharmacologically active quinazolinones, but, most important of all, the resurrection of the imide-Ugi scaffold...

In our ongoing research on novel anticancer agents with 4-anilinoquinazoline scaffolds, a series of novel 2-chloromethyl-4(3H)-quinazolinones were needed as key intermediates. An improved one-step synthesis of 2-chloromethyl-4(3H)-quinazolinones utilizing o-anthranilic acids as starting materials was described. Based on it, 2-hydroxy-methyl-4(3H)-quinazolinones were conveniently prepared in one...

A general and efficient phosphorous acid-catalyzed cyclocondensation of β-ketoesters with o-aminobenzamides via selective C-C bond cleavage leading to quinazolinones is developed. This reaction proceeds smoothly under metal- and oxidant-free conditions, giving both 2-alkyl- and 2-aryl-substituted quinazolinones in excellent yields. This strategy can also be applied to the synthesis of other N-h...

4(3H)-Quinazolinones 1 are known for more than a century [1]. Molecules based on quinazoline and quinazolinone exhibit a multitude of interesting pharmacological activities [2], including anticonvulsant, antibacterial and antidiabetic activity [3,4]. The important natural and synthetic 4(3H)-quinazolinones include l-vasicinone 2 [5], chrysogine 3 [6], methaquinalon 4 [7] – a sedative, piriqualo...

An interesting procedure for the synthesis of isoindolo[1,2-b]quinazolin-10(12H)-ones has been developed. Starting from commercially available 2-bromoanilines and 2-bromobenzyl amines, with the assistance of a palladium catalyst, the desired products were isolated in good yields. Notably, this procedure proceeded in a highly selective manner; two molecules of CO were incorporated into the subst...

Quinazolinones, an important class of fused heterocyclic alkaloids has attracted high attention in organic and medicinal chemistry due to their significant and wide range of biological activities. There are approximately 150 naturally occurring quinazolinone alkaloids known till 2005. Several new quinazolinone alkaloids (∼55) have been isolated in the last decade. Natural quinazolinones with ex...

Benzazolo [2,1-b]quinazolinones and triazolo[2,1-b]quinazolinones were synthesized in high yields by the condensation reaction of an aldehyde and a cyclic  β-diketone with 2 - aminobenzimidazole, 2 - aminobenzothiazole or 1, 2, 4 - triazole derivatives in 1 - butyl - 3 -methylimidazolium bromide as an ionic liquid under classic heating conditions within 5-60 minutes. 

The Z-scheme V2O5/g-C3N4 heterojunction was firstly applied in heterogeneous visible light-induced cascade reaction for constructing phosphoryled ring-fused quinazolinones. Both the photogenerated hole and electron played a vital role radical process.

Encouraged by our recent success in work with POMs as green catalysts, we have developed our research in field of nanotechnology. Sodium 30-tungstopentaphosphate, so called Preyssler anion, nanoparticles were synthesized and the morphology and size of these nanoparticles were characterized using, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), X-ray diffraction(XRD) a...

Halogenated quinazolinones and quinazolines are versatile synthetic intermediates for the metal-catalyzed carbon-carbon bond formation reactions such as the Kumada, Stille, Negishi, Sonogashira, Suzuki-Miyaura and Heck cross-coupling reactions or carbon-heteroatom bond formation via the Buchwald-Hartwig cross-coupling to yield novel polysubstituted derivatives. This review presents an overview ...
