Abstract
2-Arylmethyl-2,3-dihydro-4(1H)-quinazolinones are a small subgroup of the class of quinazolin-4-one alkaloids, and most published total syntheses require the use of unstable and poorly accessible arylacetaldehydes. Here we show that easily available, stable ω-methoxystyrenes are versatile substitutes for arylacetaldehydes. This new methodology was applied to the total synthesis of the alkaloids glycozolone-A and glycozolone-B. The limitations of this new approach were analyzed as well. In this course, new total syntheses of two 2-arylmethyl-4(1H)-quinazolinone alkaloids (glycosminine, 2-(4-hydroxybenzyl)-4(1H)-quinazolinone) were developed as well.
