The generation of a methyl carbon source from renewable and cheap sources is challenging. Herein, we describe a novel and an efficient route for methylation and acetylation of aza-heteroarenes using PEG-400 under O2and TsOH·H2O for the first time by tuning the reaction conditions using a different set of starting materials. The key features of the current protocol are oxidative C-O and C-C bond scission under metal-free conditions with good functional group tolerance, and a broad substrate scope. The potential applicability of the designed methodology was demonstrated for the synthesis of central nervous system (CNS) depressant and anticonvulsant drug molecules by a one-pot strategy.
Atropisomeric quinazolin-4-one derivatives are potent noncompetitive α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptor antagonists

Piriqualone (1) was found to be an antagonist of AMPA receptors. Structure-activity optimization was conducted on each of the three rings in 1 to afford a series of potent and selective antagonists. The sterically crowded environment surrounding the N-3 aryl group provided sufficient thermal stability for atropisomers to be isolated. Separation of these atropisomers resulted in the identification of (+)-38 (CP-465,022), a compound that binds to the AMPA receptor with high affinity (IC50 = 36 nM) and displays potent anticonvulsant activity.
