Scandium-catalyzed Michael addition of quinazolinones and vinylazaarenes

We described a novel scandium-catalyzed selective Michael addition of quinazolinones and vinylazaarenes. The protocol proceeds smoothly to give diverse quinazolinone derivatives in moderate to excellent yields. The high practicality of this protocol was proved by excellent chemo selectivity and broad substrate and functional group compatibility. (C) 2020 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
