Common routes to quinazolines involve condensation of amides to anilines with ortho nitrile, carboxylic acids and amides.[2]
Quinazolinone drugs that function as hypnotic/sedatives, methaqualone (Quaalude) for example, usually contain a 4-quinazolinone core with a 2-substituted phenyl group at nitrogen atom 3.
