An efficient Cu-catalyzed synthesis of quinazolines via the C–N bond formation reactions between N–H bonds of amidines and C(sp3)–H bonds adjacent to sulfur or nitrogen atoms in the commonly used solvents, such as DMSO, DMF, DMA, NMP or TMEDA, followed by intramolecular C–C bond formation reactions was developed for the first time.

A simple, convenient and generalmethod, exhibiting good functional group tolerance, is described for the synthesis of N- and N,N-disubstituted amidines by the reaction of primary carboxamides with amines mediated by trimethylaluminium (AlMe3). Subsequent reaction of the indole systems with primary carboxamides in the presence of AlMe3 gives exclusively the C-3 substituted imine product.
