A mixture of 2-amino benzamide with aromatic aldehyds in the presence of SSA under solvent-free condition were converted to quinazolinones with good yields.Key words: Starch SulphuricAcid (SSA), (3H)-4-Quinazolinones, One-pot, Solvent-Free . used in the synthesis of quinazolinone derivatives [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] .The early method, based on the reaction of 2-aminobenzamide with aldehyds, was performed in the presence of H 2 SO 4 and as a requirement of its refluxing condition much excess of aldehyds was used 15 .Though an excess of aldehyds is necessary to diminish the intermolecular side-reactions, the conventional beating method ever needs additional aldehyds both to improve the yield. In contrast to the Liquid H 2 SO 4, which is difficult to recovery and takes some effort in workup, the silica-supported H 2 SO 4, can be easily separated and recycled without the loss of activity for several times. Thus, 2-aminobenzamides (1) reacted with nearly 2 equivalents of aromatic aldehyds (2) 833-835 (2014) submission to microwave irradiation to provide fairly high yields of substituted quinazolin-4(3H)-ones (2a-d) in 25 minutes.However, these reactions often require harsh conditions and long reaction time and low efficiency can. Aromatic aldehydes, especially when used to replace for synthesis quinazolinones. Previously, we have synthesized a number of heterocyclic compounds [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28] . Herein we report some of quinazolinones at one pot reaction, environmentally friendly with high yields and easy separation (Scheme 1).
General Procedure for the Preparation of (3H)-4-Quinazolinone DerivativesA mixture of aldehyde (1 mmol) and2-amino benzamide (1 mmol), and starch sulphuric acid (20 W%) as a catalyst was stirred at 80 o C for 25 min. The progress of reaction was monitored by TLC. After finishing, recrystallized from ethanol 95% to give pure products (2a-d)
2-(3-nitrophenyl)-(3H)-4-Quinazolinone (2a)Pale
2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-(3H)-4-Quinazolinone (2b)Yellow crystals, Yield: %72, m.p= 245-248°C , FT-IR (V max /cm -1 ) (KBr disc): 3410 (amid NH Str.); 3131(arom. CH Str.); 2990(aliph. CH Str.); 1675(amid C=O Str.); 1643(C=N Str.).
2-(4-chlorophenyl)-(3H)-4-Quinazolinone (2c)White crystals, Yield: 89%, m.p = 302-304°C In conclusion, in comparison with the precedent related methods which show drawbacks from the standpoints of, prolong refluxing in solvent, need to inert gas, and consuming more aldehyds, the notable advantages of this methodology are: mild conditions in a solvent-free system, fairly high yields, fast reaction, no aqueous work-up and safe and environmental friendly conditions.
