A concise synthesis of 4-imino-3,4-dihydroquinazolin-2-ylphosphonates via a palladium-catalyzed reaction of carbodiimide, isocyanide, and phosphite

摘要

A palladium-catalyzed reaction of 2-iodoarylcarbodiimide, isocyanide, and phosphite leads to 4-imino-3,4-dihydroquinazolin-2-ylphosphonates in moderate to good yields. Three bonds are formed in a one pot procedure and the tandem process includes nudeophilic attack, isocyanide insertion, and C-N coupling.
