The generation of a methyl carbon source from renewable and cheap sources is challenging. Herein, we describe a novel and an efficient route for methylation and acetylation of aza-heteroarenes using PEG-400 under O2and TsOH·H2O for the first time by tuning the reaction conditions using a different set of starting materials. The key features of the current protocol are oxidative C-O and C-C bond scission under metal-free conditions with good functional group tolerance, and a broad substrate scope. The potential applicability of the designed methodology was demonstrated for the synthesis of central nervous system (CNS) depressant and anticonvulsant drug molecules by a one-pot strategy.

Simple, convenient, and green synthetic protocols have been developed for the one pot synthesis of 2,3-disubstituted quinazolin-4(3H)-ones and 2-styryl-3-substituted quinazolin-4(3H)-ones under catalyst and solvent free conditions. The multicomponent reaction (3-MCR) involving isatoic anhydride, an amine, and orthoester afforded the 2,3-disubstituted quinazolin-4(3H)-ones in excellent yields under classical heating at 120 °C for 5 h or under microwave irradiation at 140°C for 20-30 min. The use of ammonium acetate instead of the amine provides the 2-substituted quinazolin-4(3H)-ones. The reactions are compatible with various substituted isatoic anhydrides, aryl/heteroaryl/alkyl/cycloalkyl amines, and orthoesters. The strategies are extended to the one pot tandem condensation involving isatoic anhydride, an amine, orthoester, and aldehyde to afford highly functionalized (E)-3-aryl/heteroaryl-2-styrylquinazolin/(2-(heteroaryl)vinyl)quinazolin-4(3H)-ones. The applications of the methodologies are demonstrated through the synthesis of various drugs which act on the central nervous system such as methaqualone, mebroqualone, mecloqualone, piriquialone, and diproqualone.

A series of 4(3H)-quinazolinones structurally related to 2-methyl-3-o-tolyl-4(3H)-quinazolinone (methaqualone, 3) were synthesized and evaluated for anticonvulsant activity.Preliminary screening of these compounds revealed that 2--3-aryl-4(3H)-quinazolinones 6l and 8i, 8k, and 8p-r having a single ortho substituent on the 3-aryl group had the most promising anticonvulsant activity.Compounds 6l and 8i possessing 3-o-tolyl and 3-o-chlorophenyl groups, respectively, showed good protection against MES- and scMet-induced seizures, combined with relatively low neurotoxicity after intraperitoneal administration in mice.They also exhibited low toxicity in tests for determining the mean hypnotic dose (HD50) and the median lethal dose (LD50).Although these compounds were markedly more potent as anticonvulsants when administered orally in mice and rats, they were also more neurotoxic.This neurotoxicity was particularly acute in oral tests with rats. which resulted in marginal protective indices.In drug differentiation tests, compound 6l was ineffective against seizures induced by bicuculline, picrotoxin, and strychnine, while 8i showed some protection against picrotoxin-induced seizures.
