A simple, facile and an effective route for the synthesis of 2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4(1H)-ones via multi-component reactions using newly developed NiFe–Fe2O3 nanorods as heterogeneous catalysts.

2,3-Dihydroquinazolin-4(1H)-one as a privileged scaffold in drug design

2,3-Dihydroquinazolin-4-one (DHQ) belongs to the class of nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds representing a core structural component in various biologically active compounds. In the past decades, several methodologies have been developed for the synthesis of the DHQ framework, especially the 2-substituted derivatives. Unfortunately, multistep syntheses, harsh reaction conditions, and the use of toxic reagents and solvents have limited their full potential as a versatile fragment. Recently, use of green chemistry and alternative strategies are being explored to prepare diverse DHQ derivatives. This fragment is used as a synthon for the preparation of biologically active quinazolinones and as a functional substrate for the synthesis of modified DHQ derivatives exhibiting different biological properties. In this review, we provide a comprehensive assessment of the synthesis and biological evaluations of DHQ derivatives.

Crosslinked chitosan nanoparticle-anchored magnetic multi-wall carbon nanotubes: a bio-nanoreactor with extremely high activity toward click-multi-component reactions

In the present study, we have designed a procedure for the synthesis of a bio-nanoreactor catalyst, crosslinked chitosan nanoparticle-anchored magnetic multi-wall carbon nanotubes (CS NPs/MWCNT@Fe₃O₄), via an in situ ionotropic gelation method.
