Abstract
A simple and elegant method for benzylic activation was demonstrated employing the potassium iodide/tert-butyl hydrogen peroxide catalytic system. This methodology was further extended for the synthesis of biologically important heterocycles namely, 3H-quinazolin-4-ones and 4H-3,1-benzoxazin-4-ones including mecloqualone and etaqualone which are important quinazolinone-based drugs used for the treatment of insomnia in good yields.
