sulfonated porous carbon (spc): an efficient and recyclable solid acid catalyst for one-pot three-component synthesis of 2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4(1h)-ones under solvent-free conditions

a simple and efficient procedure has been developed for the synthesis of 2,3-dihydroquinazolin-4(1h)-ones derivatives under solvent-free conditions. this method uses the condensation of isatoic anhydride, aldehydes, and amines in the presence of a catalytic amount sulfonated porous carbon (spc). one of the important advantages of the new method is that the spc could be recycled and reused.
