Synthesis of quinazoin-4-ones through an acid ion exchange resin mediated cascade reaction

Abstract

An interesting cascade reaction of N-(2-(4,5-dihydrooxazol-2-yl)phenyl)benzamide in the presence of an acid ion exchange resin is described. In this reaction, a range of substrates bearing various substituent groups are well compatible. This work provides a green and atom-economical alternative approach for the synthesis of quinazolin-4-ones in good yields.
