One-pot synthesis of quinazolin-4(3H)-ones and fused quinazolinones by a palladium-catalyzed domino process

The Pd-catalyzed reactions of 2-azidobenzamides 1 with isocyanides 2 produced quinazolin-4(3H)-ones 4 at room temperature by a domino Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling/carbodiimide-mediated cyclization. However, as 2-azido-N-(2-bromophenyl)benzamides 1 were used under heating condition in the presence of Cs₂CO₃, the benzoimidazo[2,1-b]quinazolin-12(6H)-ones 5 were directly obtained by twice Pd-catalyzed domino cyclization. A domino reogioselective 5-exo-dig intramolecular cyclization reaction of alkynyl-containing azides 6 with isocyanides 2 generated imidazo[2,1-b]quinazolin-5(1H)-ones 9 in 74–93% yields in the presence of catalyst Pd(PPh₃)₄ and K₂CO₃.

For amine substrates the reactions afford 2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4(1H)-ones in aqueous ethanol promoted by ultrasound irradiation. However, the ammonium substrates undergo intramolecular electron transfer and rearrangement yielding quinazolin-4(3H)-ones. The catalyst is recyclable four times without loss of substantial activity. Other remarkable features include the wide range of functional group tolerance (46 quinazolinones are synthesized and 9 of them are reported firstly), and providing moderate to excellent yield of the products under mild conditions.
