Copper-Catalyzed Radical Methylation/C-H Amination/Oxidation Cascade for the Synthesis of Quinazolinones

摘要

A copper-catalyzed radical methylation/sp(3) C-H amination/oxidation reaction for the facile synthesis of quinazolinone was developed. In this cascade reaction, dicumyl peroxide acts not only as a useful oxidant but also as an efficient methyl source. Notably, a methyl radical, generated. from peroxide, was confirmed by electron paramagnetic resonance for the first time.
