Abstract
A novel metal-free catalysis protocol for the synthesis of 1,2-diarylpyrazolo[5,1- b]quinazolin-9(1 H)-ones via intramolecular oxidative C-H amination of ( E)-3-(arylamino)-2-styrylquinazolin-4(3 H)-ones has been developed in moderate to good yield. The method shows good functional group tolerance. The presented approach offers a new synthetic pathway toward the core structures of 2,3-fused quinazolinones. Moreover, the present synthetic route can be readily scaled up to gram quantity without difficulty. A possible mechanism involves a seleniranium ion followed by three-membered ring opening to form the C-N bond.
