“…Quinazolines, quinazolinones, and 3,4‐dihydro‐2 H ‐1,2,4‐benzothiadiazine 1,1‐dioxides can be prepared from primary alcohols and o ‐aminobenzylamine, o ‐aminobenzamide, and o ‐aminobenzenesulfonamide derivatives, respectively, in a one‐pot, one‐step process by using inexpensive and nontoxic iron as the catalyst (Scheme ) . This protocol is environmentally friendly and displays good functional group compatibility, whereas both aromatic and alkyl primary alcohols can be used as the starting materials.…”
