Abstract

A novel, one-pot, and three-component synthesis of 4(3H)-quinazolinones is described. Benzyl halides are oxidized to aldehydes under mild Kornblum conditions then undergo a three-component reaction with isatoic anhydride and primary amines to produce 4(3H)-quinazolinones in excellent yields.

Key words

benzyl halides - Kornblum oxidation - isatoic anhydride - amines - 4(3H)-quinazolinones - multicomponent reactions

Typical Procedure for the Preparation of Compounds 4a-m, Exemplified with 4a (Table 1, Entry 1)
A mixture of benzyl chloride (0.126 g, 1 mmol) and K₂CO₃ (1.5 mmol) in DMSO (1 mL) was stirred for 4 h at 90 ˚C. Then, isatoic anhydride (0.163 g, 1 mmol) and aniline (0.093 g, 1 mmol) were added to the reaction mixture and stirring continued at 90 ˚C for 2 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to r.t., H₂O (3 mL) was added, and stirring was continued for 1 h at ambient temperature. The white precipitate was filtered, washed with H₂O (2 × 2 mL), dried, and then recrystallized from of n-hexane-EtOAc (3:1) to give 4a as white solid.
