Abstract

In a search to speed up an aspect of the drug discovery processes, the Niementowski synthesis of the 3H-quinazolin-4-one core was reinvestigated using microwave irradiation. The experimental methodology and microwave conditions described here are well established, allowing significant rate enhancements and good yields compared to conventional reaction conditions.
