Abstract

An efficient one-pot synthesis of various 2,3-dihydroquinazolin-\(4(1H)\)-one derivatives was accomplished using \(\hbox {Cu}(\hbox {OTf})_{2}\)-catalyzed multi-component reactions between isatoic anhydride, ketones, and amines. The method has several significant advantages; mild reaction conditions, easy handling, and efficiency of catalyst.
