“…There are a variety of methods in the literature for the synthesis of 2,3‐dihydroquinazolin‐4(1 H )‐one derivatives with their own merits and demerits: (a) condensation of anthranilamide with an aldehyde or ketone; (b) desulfurization of 2‐thioxo‐4(3 H )‐ quinazolinones; (c) reaction of isatoic anhydride with Schiff bases; (d) one‐step conversion of 2‐nitrobenzamides to 2,3‐dihydro‐4(1 H )‐quinazolinones; (e) condensation of anthranilamide with benzyl; (f) two‐step synthesis starting from isatoic anhydride and amines, then was annulated with ketones; (g) a one‐pot three‐component condensation of isatoic anhydride, aldehydes and amines . Of these, condensation of anthranilamide with an aldehyde or ketone is one of the simplest and direct methods of 2,3‐dihydroquinazolin‐4(1 H )‐onse preparation using a variety of homogeneous or heterogeneous catalysts such as molecular iodine (I 2 ), cyanuric chloride, morpholinoethanesulfonic acid NH 4 Cl, tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB), p‐sulfonic acid calix arene, [Al(H 2 PO 4 ) 3 ], [bmim]HSO 4 , Sc(OTf) 3 , ZrCl 4 , Y(OTf) 3 , BiBr 3 , NaHSO 4 , lactic acid, heteropoly acids, β‐cyclodextrin‐SO 3 H, SiO 2 ‐PPA, [PYC 4 SO 3 H][HSO 4 ]/A300SiO 2 , Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles, cellulose‐SO 3 H, β‐cyclodextrin, Cu(NO 3 ) 2 /F 3 O 4 ‐DETA, amberlyst‐15, Fe 3 O 4 ‐chiff base of Cu(II), Sc(OTf) 3 fluorous bis(oxazolines), chiral SPINOL‐phosphoric acids, 3 A°MS, SiO 2 ‐H 3 PW 12 O 40 , TBAHS or by electrochemical reactions . Although, the reported synthetic protocols produce good results in many instances, some of them associated with at least one of the following imperfections: harsh reaction conditions, prolonged‐time period, unsatisfactory yields, and use of environmentally harmful solvent, expensive moisture‐sensitive catalysts, hazardous acid catalysts, high catalyst loading, expensive reagent, and tedious workup conditions.…”
