- Description
- An elegantly simple, facile, and robust approach to a scaffold of biological importance, 2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4(1H)-ones, is reported. A catalytic 1 % SnCl2/microwave-mediated approach afforded access to pure material, collected by cooling and filtration after 20-min microwave irradiation at 120°C. A total of 41 analogues were prepared in isolated yields of 17–99 %. This process was highly tolerant of aliphatic, aromatic, heterocyclic, and acyclic aldehydes, but furan, pyrrole, and thiophene aldehyde reactivity correlated with propensity towards electrophilic addition and/or Diels–Alder addition. As a result, thiophene afforded high yields (80 %) whereas pyrrole carboxaldehyde failed to react. With simple cinnamaldehydes, and in the SbCl3-mediated reaction, and with α,β-unsaturated aldehydes the equivalent quinazolin-4(3H)-ones, and not the 2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4(1H)-ones, was favoured.
