Efficient Access to 2,3-Dihydroquinazolin-4(1H)-ones by Environmentally Benign l-Proline Nitrate as Recyclable Catalyst

Abstract

An l-proline nitrate assisted protocol is described for the construction of 2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4(1H)-ones. The catalyst can be recovered easily and is reusable for at least six cycles without significant loss of catalytic efficiency.

Key words

2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4(1H)-one - l-proline nitrate - ionic liquid - cyclocondensation reaction

• 20 General Procedure A mixture of anthranilamide (1.46 mmol), aldehyde (1.46 mmol), and l-proline nitrate (10 mol%) was stirred at r.t. in MeCN (0.5 mL). The progress of the reaction was monitored by TLC. After completion of reaction, the solid obtained was filtered and recrystallized from EtOH to give 3a–o. To recover the catalyst, the filtrate was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue obtained was washed with a small quantity of H₂O. This was again removed under reduced pressure, and the last traces of H₂O were removed azeotropically with a small volume of toluene to obtain the catalyst in a suitable form for the next reaction.
