Direct Formation of C-C, C-N, and C-O Bonds in Dihydroquinazolines via Hypervalent Iodine(III)-Mediated sp3 C-H Functionalization.

ABSTRACT

A hypervalent iodine(III)-mediated cross-dehydrogenative coupling reaction for the direct formation of C-C, C-N, and C-O bonds in dihydroquinazolines has been developed. This one-pot method allows for the synthesis of C4-disubstituted dihydroquinazolines as well as C4-spirolactam, spirolactone, and spiroindene dihydroquinazolines in moderate to high yields.
