Abstract
A highly efficient and straightforward one-pot synthesis of diversely substituted 3,4-dihydroquinazolines and quinazolin-4(3H)-ones has been achieved through a domino three-component assembly reaction of arenediazonium salts, nitriles, and bifunctional aniline derivatives. This new protocol involves three C-N bond formations through the initial formation of N-arylnitrilium intermediates from arenediazonium salts and nitriles, followed by the sequential nucleophilic addition and cyclization reactions with bifunctional anilines, leading to such N-heterocyclic compounds of biological and pharmacological importance. This method offers a simple, expedient, and robust approach with the use of amenable and easily accessible reactants/reagents under metal-free mild conditions, good functional group tolerance, and high efficiency. The synthetic applications were also demonstrated by derivatization of the products obtained from these processes and syntheses of a diverse range of valuable polycyclic N-heterocycles.
