In this article, we report an efficient and mild synthetic route for the construction of substituted quinazolines from functionalized 2-aminobenzophenones with various benzaldehydes using cat. TMSOTf and hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) under neat, metal-free and microwave irradiation conditions in which gaseous ammonia was formed in situ. This synthetic protocol provided the desired quinazolines with a broad substrate scope in good to excellent yields. Some structures were confirmed by X-ray single-crystal diffraction analysis.
