Abstract

A general and efficient phosphorous acid-catalyzed cyclocondensation of β-ketoesters with o-aminobenzamides provides 2-subsituted quinazolinones via selective C-C bond cleavage under metal- and oxidant-free conditions in excellent yields. This strategy can also be applied to the synthesis of other N-heterocycles, such as benzimidazoles and benzothiazoles.
