being obtained in high yields (Table 3). All the compounds
were characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, IR, and HRMS.
3. Conclusion
In summary, a mild, facile and environmentally benign
method is developed for the combinatorial synthesis of
quinazolin-4-(1H)-one derivatives in high yields catalyzed
by iodine in ionic liquids. The advantages of this procedure
include its mild reaction conditions, high yields, one-pot
method, operational simplicity, and environmental benignity.
Meanwhile, this method provides new compounds containing
quinazolinone moiety for biomedical screening.
