“…Recently, Lindsley and coworkers observed the metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR) properties of this class of compounds [8]. Thus, developing versatile approaches to the synthesis of 2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4(1H)-ones, 4H-pyrimido [2,1-b] [1,3]benzothiazoles and 1-((benzo[d]thiazol-2-ylamino)(aryl)-methyl)naphthalen-2-ols still remains a highly desired goal in organic synthesis, because of their potential biological and pharmaceutical activities. There are many reports on the synthesis of dihydroquinazolin-4(1H)-ones, 4H-pyrimido [2,1-b] [1,3]benzothiazole and 1-((benzo[d]thiazol-2-ylamino)(aryl)-methyl)naphthalen-2-ol derivatives by threecomponent reaction of aldehydes, 2-aminobenzothiazole and isatoic anhydride or bnaphthol or ethyl/methyl acetoacetate in the presence of heterogeneous catalysts, for example Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles [9], copolymer-p-TSA [10], p-TSA-NaHSO 3 [11], silica sulfuric acid [12], gallium(III) triflate [13], Amberlyst-15 [14], KAl(SOO(alum) [12], montmorillonite K-10 [15], zinc(II) perfluorooctanoate [16], the ionic liquids 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide[bmim]Br or [bmim]PF6 [17,18], [Al(H 2 PO 4 ) 3 ] [22], tetramethylguanidinium trifluoroacetate (TMGT) [19], silica sulfuric acid (SSA) [20], and sulfamic acid (SA) [21].…”
