Protocols have been developed that allow easy access to 4-alkynylquinazolines under transition-metal-free conditions. The ring opening reaction of 4-(benzofuran-2-yl)quinazolines obtained from the arylation of quinazolines with benzofuran is the first way to achieve 4-alkynylquinazolines. Direct alkynylation of quinazolines with terminal alkynes in the presence of n-BuLi and iodine or with alkynyl Grignard reagents is another strategy. Desilylation of 4-((trimethylsilyl)ethynyl)quinazolines obtained by direct alkynation is the third approach to give 4-alkynylquinazolines. It has also been shown that the protocols are applicable for scale-up synthesis.
