Palladium‐Catalyzed One‐Pot Coupling / Cyclization through Mo(CO)6 as the Carbon Monoxide Donor: Synthesis of Quinazolinones.

An efficient and rapid one‐pot synthesis of quinazolinone via a three‐component carbonylative coupling of 2‐aminobenzamide or 2‐aminobenzonitrile, Mo(CO)6 and aryl bromides has been developed recently. This method provide a new way to synthesize quinazolinone which has a wide substrate scope, good functional group tolerance and mild reaction condition. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
