Palladium-Catalyzed Cyanation of Quinazoline-4-tosylates for Access to 4-CN-Functionalized Quinazolines
摘要:
A highly efficient palladium-catalyzed cyanation of quinazoline-4-tosylates is disclosed. The method is successfully developed for the direct access to various 4-CN-functionalized quinazolines, which are potentially useful as biologically and pharmaceutically active compounds. The reactions were performed under mild conditions using inexpensive copper(I) cyanide as cyano source in good to excellent yields and great functional group diversities.
An efficient route to 4-arylquinazolines via arylation of quinazolin-4-ones under mild condition is described. The reaction is carried out by the palladium-catalyzed coupling of quinazolin-4-ones with arylboronic acids in the presence of TsCl leading to 4-arylquinazolines in good to excellent yields.
