title: Synthesis of quinazolines via CuO nanoparticles catalyzed aerobic oxidative coupling of aromatic alcohols and amidines.
abstract: CuO nanoparticles were found to be efficient catalysts for the synthesis of quinazoline derivatives; twenty-four products were obtained with good to excellent yields via reaction of N-arylamidines and aromatic aldehydes or benzyl alcohol in air. Neither a base nor an organic oxidant was necessary, and CuO nanoparticles can be recycled without a significant decrease in catalytic activity.
