A copper-catalyzed tandem reaction with vinyl halides and 2-aminobenzamides has been developed. In this synthetic route, cross-coupling reaction of the amide moiety with vinyl halides initially progresses, followed by hydroamination, to provide 2,2-disubstituted quinazolinone derivatives. Moreover, the tandem reaction is used in a one-pot synthesis beginning with alkyne hydroiodination by PPh₃, I₂, and H₂O.
