Synthesis of quinazolinone and quinazoline derivatives using green chemistry approach

Abstract Green chemistry has been most compelling area of research. Green chemistry is vital to long-term sustainability, not only because of its fundamental notion of reducing the use and manufacture of hazardous materials, but also because of its broad applicability as one of the most efficient and problem-solving pathways for the synthesis of new materials. Various chemists have studied a plethora of strategies to lessen the release of hazardous chemical waste, waste material recyclization and reuse. New techniques have been created based on a green chemistry strategy that includes the utilization of catalysts, nanosized materials and composites, such as metal and non-metal nanoparticles, their oxides and salts, and different heterocyclic rings. Quinazolines and quinazolinones are biologically significant heterocyclic rings with a wide range of characteristics. In a summary, this chapter focuses on recent novel synthesis methods for quinazoline and quinazolinone derivatives, which are vital to humanity.
