A nickel(0)-catalyzed method for the synthesis of quinazolinediones from isatoic anhydrides and isocyanates is described. High-throughput ligand screening revealed that XANTPHOS was the optimal ligand for this transformation. Subsequent optimization studies, supported by kinetic analysis, significantly expanded the reaction scope. The reaction exhibits a case of substrate inhibition kinetics with respect to the isocyanate. Preliminary results on an asymmetric synthesis of atropisomeric quinazolinediones are reported.
