Design and synthesis of novel 6-substituted quinazoline-2-thiols.

A novel design and efficient protocol for the synthesis of new class of 6-substituted quinazoline-2-thiols is reported. The derivatization of the thioquinazolines is achieved in a strategic manner using 2-aminobenzylamine. The functionalization of the aniline followed by construction of the heterocyclic ring provides a facile way to synthesize these bifunctional quinazolines.
