Abstract
A novel copper-catalyzed synthesis of quinazolinones from easily available 2-arylindoles and amines or ammoniums has been developed, which provided various quinazolinones in up to 99% yields for 43 examples. This strategy features tolerance of a wide range of functional groups, easily available starting materials, simple operation, mild reaction conditions, and environmental friendliness.
