Abstract

An efficient, novel, short, and high-yielding one-pot protocol for the synthesis of diverse quinazolinone-fused azauracil heterocycles through cyclodesulfurization and intramolecular cyclization of thioquinazolinone using silver cyanate is described.

Key words

Typical Experimental Procedure for the Synthesis of Quinazolinone-Fused Azauracil Compounds 3a-h
Diverse 2-thioxo-2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4 (1H)-ones 2a-h were obtained in good yield by the one-pot reaction of anthranilic acid/esters, primary amines, and bis(benzo-triazol-1-yl)methanethione in presence of the amidine base as per ref. 7. Thioquinazolinone (2a, 0.5 g 1.96 mmol) was added in anhyd MeCN (8 mL) and stirred for 10 min then AgCNO (0.59 g, 3.93 mmol) was added in above solution. Solid precipitated out within 5 min and reaction mixture was further stirred for 30 min, where reaction mass turns into greenish color. Progress of reaction was monitored by TLC (25% EtOAc in n-hexane). After completion of reaction, product was filtered, dried, and subjected to column chromatography (25% EtOAc in n-hexane) to obtain pure white solid (90-95% yield).
