Synthesis of quinazolinimines and quinazolinamines from 2-fluorobenzonitriles under catalyst-free conditions†‡
Abstract
A convenient procedure for the synthesis of quinazolinimines and quinazolinamines from 2-fluorobenzonitriles has been developed. By using KOtBu as the promotor with 2-aminopyridines or amidines as the reaction partner, the desired heterocycles were produced in moderate to good yields under catalyst-free conditions.
