Synthesis of Fused Quinazolinethiones and Their S-Alkyl/aryl Derivatives
Synthesis of Fused Quinazolinethiones and Their S-Alkyl/aryl Derivatives
Abstract
Quinazoline derivatives are associated with broad spectrum of biological activities. In view of
this, 4-substituted phenyl-3,4,5,6-tetrahydrobenzo[h]quinazoline-2(1H)-thiones were prepared
under microwave irradiations through one-pot multicomponent reactions and these
quinazolinethiones were then converted to S-alkyl/aryl quinazoline derivatives. The synthetic
schemes of the prepared compounds are given.
Keywords: S-Alkylation of quinazolinethiones, condensation reaction, green chemistry,
multicomponent reactions
Introduction
The quinazoline skeleton 1 is of great importance to chemists as well as biologists as it is
available in a large variety of naturally occurring compounds. It is also found in clinically useful
molecules having diverse biological activities2 such as antiviral, antimalarial, anticonvulsant,
antibacterial, diuretic, hypnotic, hypoglycaemic, antitumoral and antihypertensive. Literature
study reveals that quinazoline-2(1H)-thiones have been prepared under thermal conditions
through multistep reactions. However, as the concept of one-pot multicomponent reaction3
(MCR) and Microwave-induced Organic Reaction Enhancement (MORE) chemistry4,5,8 is
gaining importance due to increasing environmental and economical concern, we have modified
the synthetic route of quinazoline-2(1H)-thiones to one-pot multicomponent cyclocondensation
reaction under microwave irradiations.
Through this modification, precious solvents can be saved, the reaction time can
be reduced and overall yield has been improved by reducing the number of steps. Thus, it is a
step towards green chemistry.
The present work also includes the reaction of the thiones with suitable reagents forming
alkylated products. Literature survey reveals that 2-(substituted thio)-4-substituted phenyl-

Especially noteworthy is the survival of a variety of functional groups such as nitro,

Conclusions
In summary, we have changed the methodology for the synthesis of quinazoline-2-thiones 1 to a
three-component condensation reaction in one-pot, using microwave irradiations. By using the
new methodology, the preparation of quinazoline-2-thione analogues is a simple, cost-effective,
time-saving and eco-friendly process. Also, alkylated derivatives of compound 1 have been
prepared.
Experimental Section
General Procedures. Melting points are uncorrected and were determined in open end
capillaries. Thin layer chromatography was performed on Silica gel G (Merck). 1H NMR spectra
were recorded on BRUKER ADVANCE II 400 NMR Spectrometer. The IR spectra were
recorded on Perkin-Elmer spectrum RX IFT-IR System. The mass Spectra were obtained on a
JEOL 5x102/DA-6000 mass spectrometer. All the compounds gave satisfactory elemental

General procedure for synthesis of 2-(benzyl thio)-4-substituted phenyl-1,4,5,6-tetrahydrobenzo[h]quinazolines
To quinazolinethione 1 (0.004 mole) dissolved in alcohol (5 ml) was added benzyl chloride
(0,004 mole) and the reaction mixture was refluxed for 5 hrs. The mixture was cooled at room
temperature. The solid separated was filtered and recrystallised from ethanol to give 2k-2n. The
spectral data is given in table 3.
