Abstract
In an efficient redox-neutral [Cp*RhCl2]2/AgBF4 catalyzed double C-N bond formation sequence to prepare highly substituted quinazolines from benzimidates and dioxolanes as coupling partners, dioxazolones work as an internal oxidant to maintain the catalytic cycle. N-Unsubstituted imine not only acts as a directing group but also functions as a nucleophile in the postcoupling cyclization.
