Abstract

Condensation of aldehydes with anthranilamide in refluxing water using iron (III) chloride hexahydrate as an oxidiant afforded 2-substituted 4 (3H)-quinazolinones in good yields (77– 93%). This method provides several advantages such as being environmentally friendly, having a simple work-up procedure, and affording high yields.
