Abstract

A new method is presented for the synthesis of 2-aminoquinazolines, which is based on a Chan–Evans–Lam coupling of (2-formylphenyl)boronic acids with guanidines. Relatively mild conditions involving the use of inexpensive CuI as a catalyst and methanol as a solvent permit the application of the method to a wide range of substrates. Nonsubstituted, N-monosubstituted, and N,N-disubstituted guanidines can be used as reactants to give the corresponding 2-aminoquinazolines in moderate yields from readily available (2-formylphenyl)boronic acids.
