Abstract
A copper-catalyzed imidoylative cross-coupling/cyclocondensation reaction between 2-isocyanobenzoates and amines efficiently provides quinazolin-4-ones. The reaction utilizes Cu(II) acetate as an environmentally benign catalyst in combination with a mild base and proceeds well in anisole, a sustainable solvent. The use of aromatic amines as nucleophiles requires microwave heating.
