“…Although quinazolines can be synthesized using the methods described above, these strategies require complex pre-functionalization of the substrate , [14,15,19] or the use of transition metal catalysts, [20,21,22] and excess oxidants. [23] Therefore, a facile, efficient, and more specific strategy for the synthesis of quinazolines is highly desirable. Herein, we report an N-arylamidine-based strategy using DMSO as a carbon source, which does not require the addition of acid, transition metal catalysis, or an external oxidant, for the efficient synthesis of quinazoline compounds.…”
