Kinetics investigation of the synthesis reaction of 2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4(1H)-ones in the presence of acetic acid as a catalyst

Acetic acid has been applied as an efficient catalyst and a green solvent for the two–component condensation reaction consisting of benzaldehyde, 2-amino-benzamide. The advantages of this protocol was excellent yield, short reaction time, mild reaction conditions, higher availability, low costs, more environmentally friendly, lack of need for column chromatography and simple work-up procedure. In addition, […]

Chloroacetic acid-promoted heterocyclic reactions: Efficient preparation of tetrahydropyridines and 2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4(1H)-ones

Facile and versatile procedures have been explored for the synthesis of tetrahydropyridines and 2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4(1H)-ones. These protocols employ the one-pot multi-component condensation of arylaldehydes and aromatic amines with β-keto esters and isatoic anhydride in chloroacetic acid, respectively. The reactions proceeded smoothly to generate the corresponding products in high yield. We have found that the use of […]
