Solid-Phase Synthesis of 2-Aminoquinazolinone Derivatives with Two- and Three-Point Diversity

Abstract

A versatile solid-phase method for the synthesis of various substituted 2-amino-4(3H)-quinazolinones with two- and three-point diversity is described. The synthesis commenced with the generation of polymer-bound S-methylisothiourea followed by N-acylation with different substituted o-nitrobenzoic acid. Finally, reduction of the nitro group triggered intramolecular cyclization via formation of guanidine to afford 2-amino-4(3H)-quinazolinone and its derivatives in high yields and purities.
