Synthesis of 3‐aminoalkyl‐2‐arylaminoquiazolin‐4(3H)‐ones and 3,3′‐disubstituted bis‐2‐arylaminoquinazolin‐4(3H)‐ones via reactions of 1‐aryl‐3‐(2‐ethoxycarbonylphenyl)carbodiimides with diamines

Abstract magnified image 1‐Aryl‐3‐(2‐ethoxycarbonylphenyl)carbodiimides 2, obtained from aza‐Wittig reactions of iminophosphorane 1 with aryl isocyanates, reacted with primary diamines in 1:1 and 2:1 molar ratio under mild conditions to give selectively the regioisomers 3‐aminoalkyl‐2‐arylaminoquinazolin‐4(3H)‐ones 3 and 3,3′‐disubstituted bis‐2‐arylaminoquinazolin‐4(3H)‐ones 4 in good yields, respectively. To fully characterize the regioselectivity of aza‐Wittig reactions of 1‐aryl‐3‐(2‐ethoxycarbonylphenyl)carbo‐diimides with primary diamines, crystals of 4e were obtained, and its structure was determined by X‐ray crystallography.
