Paper
A novel and efficient protocol for the direct C-4 alkylation of quinazoline-3-oxides via radical oxidative coupling between quinazoline 3-oxides and ethers in the presence of TBHP was developed. The reaction proceeded smoothly under metal-free conditions, which provided quinazoline-containing heterocyclic molecules in moderate to good yields.
