Synthesis of Bis-2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4(1 H )-ones and 2,3-Dihydroquinazolin-4(1 H )-ones Derivatives with the Aid of Silica-Supported Preyssler Nanoparticles

Abstract

One-pot three-component condensation of isatoic anhydride with primary amines or ammonium carbonate and aromatic aldehydes in refluxing ethanol in the presence of catalytic amounts of silica-supported preyssler nanoparticles (SPNP) afforded the corresponding 2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4(1 H )-ones in high yields, and bis-dihydroquinazolinones were synthesized for the first time by a novel pseudo-five-component condensation of isatoic anhydride, a primary amine, and a dialdehyde in water. The catalyst is reusable and can be applied several times without any decrease in product yield.
