One-pot synthesis of quinazolin-4(3H)-ones and2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4(1H)-ones utilizingN-(2-aminobenzoyl)benzotriazoles

A convenient and efficient method has emerged for the one-pot synthesis of substituted quinazolin-4(3$H)$-ones and nonaromatic alkaloids. 2-Substituted quinazolin-4(3H)-ones, 2,3-disubstituted quinazolin-4(3$H)$-ones, and 2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4(1$H)$-ones were obtained at yields of 46% to 95% by a one-pot reaction of $N$-(2-aminobenzoyl) benzotriazoles with amines and orthoesters or aldehydes under catalyst-free conditions.
