“…A variety of convenient methodologies have been developed for the synthesis of quinazolinones [ 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 ]. o -Aminobenzamides [ 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 ] and o -bromobenzamides [ 12 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 ] are the most frequently used starting materials by far, and o -Aminobenzoic acid [ 32 ], o -haloaniline [ 26 , 33 ], and isatoic anhydride [ 34 ] were also introduced. Alternatively, o -aminobenzonitrile [ 35 , 36 , 37 ] was applied to prepare quinazolinones by Wu and co-workers [ 35 ], considering that the variation of o -aminobenzonitriles is much more available than o -aminobenzamides.…”
