Palladium-catalyzed synthesis of novel trifluoromethylated quinazolinone, N-arylquinazoline and N-benzylquinazoline derivatives

Abstract

A simple and palladium-catalyzed procedure for synthesis of a novel series of potentially biologically active trifluoromethyl-substituted quinazolinones and N-arylquinazoline derivatives via condensation-cyclization reaction of 2-aminobenzamide, 2-amino-N′-arylbenzimidamides and 2-amino-N′-benzylbenzimidamides with trifluoroacetimidoyl chlorides has been developed. noteworthy, this investigation showed the possible of transition-metal-catalyzed activation of trifluoroacetimidoyl chlorides as a carbon trifluoromethylated source for the synthesis of quinazolines and quinazolinone derivatives in good to excellent yields.
