Palladium‐Catalyzed Carbonylative Synthesis of Quinazolinones from 2‐Aminobenzamide and Aryl Bromides

Abstract

C from CO! A straightforward procedure for the carbonylative synthesis of quinazolinones from readily available 2-aminobenzamide and aryl bromides has been developed. In the presence of a palladium catalyst, various quinazolinones were produced in moderate to excellent yields. Remarkably, no chromatography was needed for purification (see scheme).
