“…In the past, a number of research efforts have been made to synthesis of quinazolinone and its derivatives through one pot three component synthesis involving several catalysts such as; DBSA [7], Trifluoroethanol (TFE) [8], AcOH [9], Thiamine hydrochloride (VB1) [10], Aluminium methanesulfonate [11], A strong acidic cationexchange resin [12], TiO2 nanoparticles [13], CuO nanoparticles [14], Tartaric acid-sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) [15], MCM-41-SO3H [16], Silica-supported Preyssler nanoparticles [17], Nano-In2O3 [18], Cu-CNTs [19], Titanium Silicon Oxide Nanopowder [20].Using βcyclodextrin-SO3H [21], Zirconium (IV) chloride [22], FeCl3/Al2O3 [23] catalysts two components synthesis of 2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4(1H)-ones was carried out using 2-aminobenzamide and substituted aldehyde/ketone. However, most of the synthetic protocols reported so far have several drawbacks such as drastic reaction conditions, longer reaction times, low yields, tedious work-up procedures and the use of hazardous solvents.…”
