title: Iron-catalyzed one-pot 2,3-diarylquinazolinone formation from 2-nitrobenzamides and alcohols.
abstract: A novel approach for the synthesis of 2,3-diarylquinazolinones using iron as catalyst is described. Various 2-nitro-N-arylbenzamides reacted with benzylic alcohols to selectively give the corresponding products in the absence of external oxidant or reductant.
