An efficient and practical synthesis of benzazolo[2,1-b]quinazolinones and triazolo[2,1-b]quinazolinones catalyzed by nano-sized NS-C4(DABCO-SO3H)2)·4Cl

Abstract

In this study, 4,4′-(butane-1,4-diyl)bis(1-sulfo-1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane-1,4-diium)tetrachloride (NS-C4(DABCO-SO3H)2)·4Cl is used as a nano-sized Bronsted acid catalyst for the efficient and preferment synthesis of benzazolo[2,1-b]quinazolinones and triazolo[2,1-b]quinazolinones derivatives. This protocol has many advantages including mild reaction conditions, acceptable reaction times, high yields and easy work-up of the products and reusability of the catalyst.
