Abstract
This study reports a safe, mild, and environmentally benign synthetic method toward 2-aryl-4-quinazolinones from aromatic aldehydes and aminobenzamides through a cyclization–oxidation sequence using a catalytic amount of iodine, which serves as both a Lewis acid and an oxidant, harmless visible light irradiation, and molecular oxygen as the terminal oxidant.
