Abstract

A novel green and energy-efficient synthesis of 2,3-dihydro/spiroquinazolin-4(1H)-ones via three-component cyclo­condensation reaction involving isatoic anhydride, amines and aldehydes/ketones utilizing recyclable tartaric acid–SDS catalyst system has been achieved. With simple requirements of mechanical stirring or mechanochemical activation at room temperature and one of the shortest reported times as of yet, it is a significant improvement on previously described methods for the synthesis of such compounds. Moreover the catalyst system can also be efficiently applied in large-scale reactions which indicates the potential for applications in industry.

  • 10 Representative Procedure: Method A: In a round-bottom flask, isatoic anhydride (0.1 g, 0.61 mmol) and amine (0.61 mmol) were dissolved in micellar solution of H2O–EtOH (3:1; 4 mL) sensitized with SDS (20 mol%). Tartaric acid (0.92 g, 0.61 mmol) and aldehyde/ketone (0.61 mmol) were then successively added and the reaction was allowed to stir at r.t. for an appropriate time indicated in Tables 2–4. The solid precipitate was filtered, washed with H2O, dried and could be used without further purification, however in case of 4r, 4s and 4t recrystallization with EtOH–ice was required. Method B: isatoic anhydride (0.1 g, 0.61 mmol) and amine (0.61 mmol) were mixed with a few drops of the solvent system (H2O–EtOH, 3:1) in a mortar. Tartaric acid (0.92 g, 0.61 mmol), SDS (20 mol%) and aldehyde/ketone (0.61 mmol) were then successively added and ground together with a pestle until completion of the reaction (Tables 2–4). In most of the cases the product was washed with H2O, however in case of 4rt recrystallization with EtOH–ice was required. 3-Butyl-2-phenyl-2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4(1H)-one (4a): colorless solid; yield: 0.15 g (87%); mp 132–135 °C. 1H (300 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 7.88 (d, 1 H, J = 6.9 Hz), 7.21 (br s, 4 H), 7.13–7.19 (m, 2 H), 6.76 (t, 1 H, J = 7.3 Hz), 6.44 (d, 1 H, J = 8.0 Hz), 5.76 (s, 1 H), 3.85–3.94 (m, 1 H), 2.64–2.74 (m, 1 H), 1.45–1.49 (m, 2 H), 1.20–1.27 (m, 2 H), 0.80 (t, 3 H, J = 7.3 Hz).13C (50 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 163.2, 145.2, 140.0, 133.4, 129.2, 128.9, 128.4, 126.5, 119.1, 116.2, 114.4, 72.1, 44.6, 29.8, 20.2, 13.8.
