Synthesis of 2,3-dihydroquinazolinones

Recent Literature


The combination of crown ether based host-guest chemistry with chiral phosphoric acid mediated asymmetric catalysis enables a supramolecular regulation of catalytic asymmetric two-component tandem acetalization reactions. After addition of the alkali metal guest, an improvement in yield and an increased enantioselectivity demonstrated the great advantages of this supramolecular regulation strategy.
