atom-efficient synthesis of 2-substituted quinazolines is developed by a CsOH-mediated direct aerobic oxidative reaction of the readily available and stable 2-aminoarylmethanols and nitriles. Effectively working as the promoter in the alcohol oxidation, nitrile hydration, and cyclocondensation steps, CsOH is the best base for the reaction. A similar method can also be extended to the synthesis of substituted

Nickel-catalyzed [4 + 2] annulation of benzylamines and nitriles via C–H/N–H bond activation, providing straightforward atom-economic access to a wide variety of multisubstituted quinazolines, is reported. Mechanistic investigation revealed that the in situ formed amidines from the coupling of benzylamines and nitriles direct the nickel catalyst to activate the ortho-C–H bond of the phenyl ring of
Sustainable Synthesis of Quinazoline and 2-Aminoquinoline via Dehydrogenative Coupling of 2-Aminobenzyl Alcohol and Nitrile Catalyzed by Phosphine-Free Manganese Pincer Complex
A sustainable synthesis of quinazoline and 2-aminoquinoline via acceptorless dehydrogenative annulation is presented. The reaction is catalyzed by earth-abundant well-defined manganese complexes bearing NNS ligands. Furthermore, a one-pot synthetic strategy for the synthesis of 2-alkylaminoquinolines through sequential dehydrogenative annulation and N-alkylation reaction has also been demonstrated

Ru(II)-catalyzed preparation of quinazolines via acceptorless dehydrogenative strategy has been developed. Under the optimized conditions, a broad range of substituted o-aminobenzyl alcohols and (hetero)aryl or alkyl nitriles were well tolerated to afford various 2-substituted quinazolines in high yields. Subsequently, a set of control experiments have been performed to elucidate the reaction mechanism,
By employing a commercially available Ru-3(CO)(12)/Xantphos/t-BuOK catalyst system, a novel and straightforward ruthenium-catalyzed dehydrogenative synthesis of 2-arylquinazolines has been demonstrated. A series of 2-aminoaryl methanols were efficiently converted in combination with different types of benzonitriles into various desired products in moderate to good yields upon isolation. The synthetic protocol proceeds with the advantages of operational simplicity, high atom efficiency, broad substrate scope, and no need for the use of less environmentally benign halogenated reagents, offering an important basis for accessing 2-arylquinazolines.
