Abstract

Ruthenium-catalysed hydrogen transfer has been successfully used for the conversion of alcohols into either 2,3-dihydroquinazolines or quinazolines. The choice of reaction conditions allows for the selective formation of either heterocycle and the methodology can also be applied to the sulfonamide analogue.
