A palladium-catalyzed reaction of 2-iodoarylcarbodiimide, isocyanide, and phosphite leads to 4-imino-3,4-dihydroquinazolin-2-ylphosphonates in moderate to good yields. Three bonds are formed in a one pot procedure and the tandem process includes nucleophilic attack, isocyanide insertion, and C–N coupling.
