Synthesis of Quinazolinediones

Recent Literature

A tandem palladium-catalyzed arylation-ester amidation sequence allows the synthesis of various quinazolinedione products by reaction of o-halo benzoates with monoalkyl ureas. The reactions are regioselective for the formation of 3-N-alkyl isomers.

An efficient method for the synthesis of disubstituted quinazoline diones with differential N-substitution proceeds in high yields under mild conditions. The reaction tolerates a wide range of substitutions on the aromatic and dione rings.

A Pd-catalyzed insertion and cycloaddition of CO₂ and isocyanide to 2-iodoanilines provides quinazoline-2,4(1H,3H)-diones under mild conditions through the formation of C-C, C-O, and C-N bonds.

A metal-free N-H and C-H carbonylation process using phenyl isocyanate as carbonyl source provides a range of synthetically valuable quinazoline-2,4(1H,3H)-diones, 2H-benzo[e] [1,2,4] thiadiazin-3(4H)-one 1,1-dioxides, and pyrrolo[1,2-a] quinoxalin-4(5H)-ones. The protocol features broad substrates, excellent yields, mild conditions, and good functional group compatibility.

XANTPHOS has been identified as the optimal ligand for a nickel(0)-catalyzed synthesis of quinazolinediones from isatoic anhydrides and isocyanates. Preliminary results on an asymmetric synthesis of atropisomeric quinazolinediones are reported too.
