Abstract

A convenient and efficient synthesis of 2-aminoquinazolin-4(3H)-ones and N1-substituted 2-aminoquinazolin-4(1H)-ones proceeds via carbonylative coupling of readily available ortho-iodoanilines with cyanamide followed by in situ ring closure of an N-cyanobenzamide intermediate. The products were easily isolated by precipitation in good yields for a wide range of substrates.

Note

In addition, a one-step cascade carbonylation/cyclization method (85 °C, 20 h) can also be employed and is especially suitable for temperature sensitive reactions.
