Abstract
A facile and mild method for the preparation of 2,3-dialkyl-substituted quinazolinones from readily available N-arylamides and commercial isocyanates involves a chemoselective activation of the secondary amide with Tf2O/2-Br-Pyr, addition of isocyanate, and cyclization. This reaction is general for a wide range of substrates and can be run on a gram scale.
