Synthesis of 1-substituted 4(1H)-quinazolinones under solvent-free conditions
(Chemical Equation Presented) Heating a mixture of 2-(N-alkylamino)benzoic acids, triethyl orthoformate, and ammonium acetate under solvent-free conditions generated 1-substituted 4(1H)- quinazolinones in 73-99% yields. Moreover, a possible reaction pathway was proposed. Copyright Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
