title: Highly enantioselective synthesis of 2,3-dihydroquinazolinones through intramolecular amidation of imines.
abstract: Enantioselective synthesis of 2,3-dihydroquinazolinones (DHQZs) was accomplished using readily available Sc(III)-inda-pybox as the catalyst. This is the first report on the metal catalyzed asymmetric intramolecular amidation of imines to synthesize DHQZs.
