“…A number of classical methods for synthesis of 2,3‐dihydroquinazolin‐4(1H)‐one have been reported in literature involving solid‐phase synthesis of 2‐arylamino substituted quinazolinones, reaction of ortho‐nitrobenzamide with aldehyde promoted by samarium iodide, reaction of anthranilamide with aldehydes or ketones in presence of cerium (IV) ammonium nitrate, silica sulfuric acid, ionic liquid/water, KAl(SO 4 ) 2 ⋅ 12H 2 O, gallium triflate, chiral phosphoric acid,, TiCl 4 −Zn in THF, amberlyst‐15 sulfonic acid, MCM−41−SO 3 H a mesoporous silica material, Sc(III)‐ inda ‐pybox, Choline hydroxide, ZnFe 2 O 4 , Yttrium nitrate, etc. However most of the reported methods involve the use of organic solvents, metal catalyst with tedious procedure and low yields of product.…”
