A microwave-assisted and heteropolyacids-catalysed cyclocondensation reaction for the synthesis of 4(3H)-quinazolinones

Molecules. 2008 Apr 3;13(4):779-789. doi: 10.3390/molecules13040779.

Abstract

We have investigated a microwave-assisted synthesis of 4(3H)-quinazolinones by condensation of anthranilic acid, orthoesters (or formic acid) and substituted anilines,using Keggin-type heteropolyacids (H(3)PW(12)O(40).13H(2)O, H(4)SiW(12)O(40).13H(2)O,H(4)SiMo(12)O(40).13H(2)O or H(3)PMo(12)O(40).13H(2)O) as catalysts. We found that the the use of H(3)PW(12)O(40).13H(2)O acid coupled to microwave irradiation allows a solvent-free, rapid (approximately 13min) and high-yielding reaction.
