through a three-component reaction in the presence of a
catalytic amount of acetic acid. The method tolerates an ar-
ray of functional groups and has the advantages of mild re-
action conditions, short reaction times, experimental sim-
plicity, and excellent yields.

(25) 1′H-Spiro[cycloalkyl-1,2′-quinazolin]-4′(3′H)-ones 4a–l and
6a–l; General Procedure
A 50 mL round-bottomed flask was charged with MeOH (5 mL),
isatoic anhydride (2; 3 mmol), the appropriate amine 1 (3
mmol), and AcOH (10 mol%), and the mixture was stirred at r.t.
for about 5 min. Cyclohexanone or cyclopentanone (3 mmol) in
MeOH (5 mL) was added, and the resulting mixture was stirred
at the reflux temperature until the reaction was complete [TLC;
EtOAc–hexane (3:7); see Tables 2 and 3]. The mixture was
allowed to cool to r.t., and the resulting solid was collected by
filtration. The crude product was purified by crystallization
from EtOH.

(27) Crystals of compounds 4a, 4e, and 6e were mounted on a
Gemini A Ultra Oxford Diffraction automatic diffractometer
equipped with a CCD detector. Data were collected with graph-
ite-monochromated MoKα radiation (λ = 0.71073 Å) at 295(2) K
with an ω scan mode. Lorentz, polarization, and empirical
absorption corrections using spherical harmonics implemented
in the SCALE3 ABSPACK scaling algorithm were applied.30 The
structure was solved by direct methods and subsequently com-
pleted by difference Fourier recycling. Nonhydrogen atoms
were refined anisotropically by using the full-matrix least-
squares technique. Hydrogen atoms were found by difference
Fourier synthesis after four cycles of anisotropic refinement,
and refined as riding on the adjacent carbon atom with an indi-
vidual isotropic temperature factor equal to 1.2 times the value
