Using a simple reaction protocol and easy product isolation steps, we successfully synthesized 18 different 1,2-dihydroquinazoline derivatives and were able to recycle the catalysts up to 8 times. Overall, the use of hydrotalcite and [BPy][OH] catalysts provide a more efficient and environmentally friendly method for synthesizing quinazolines compared to traditional methods that often require harsh conditions and toxic reagents.\u0000\u0000\u0000\u00001,2-Dihydroquinazolines are an important class of heterocyclic compounds with diverse biological activities, including anticancer, antifungal, and antibacterial properties. They also exhibit other pharmacological activities such as antihypertensive, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral effects. The synthesis of 1,2-dihydroquinazolines dates to the early 20th century when they were first synthesized by Pictet and Huber in 1911 by the condensation of anthranilic acid with aldehydes or ketones in the presence of strong acids. Since then, numerous methods have been developed for their synthesis, including the cyclization of o-aminobenzamides, the reaction of o-aminoaryl ketones with aldehydes or ketones, and the use of catalysts such as Lewis acids and transition metals. In recent years, the development of new synthetic methods for the efficient and selective synthesis of 1,2-dihydroquinazolines has been of great interest to synthetic chemists, particularly in the pharmaceutical industry. These methods include the use of microwave irradiation, ultrasound, and ionic liquids as green solvents. \u0000Overall, the synthesis of 1,2-dihydroquinazolines has been an active area of research, and new methods continue to be developed to improve their synthesis and properties for various applications.\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000We easily synthesized two ionic liquids, [BMIM][OH] and [BPy][OH], with high yields.

The utilization of energy inputs (mechanochemistry, ultrasound, or microwave irradiation), photochemistry, and greener reaction media being applied to organic synthesis are the key trends in the greener and sustainable process development in the current synthetic chemistry. These strategic methods aim to address the majority of the green chemistry principles, developing functional chemicals with less amount of waste production. In the synthesis of biologically potential heterocyclic molecules, green chemistry is a topic of great interest. It encompasses all branches of chemistry and is found in the notion of conducting chemical reactions while also conserving the environment through pollution-free chemical synthesis. Water as a solvent media is an excellent choice of solvent in organic synthesis development in the present day, as it is highly abundant, nontoxic, and non-combustible. Medicinal chemists have recently focused their attention on environmentally friendly procedures that use greener solvent media. Using water as a solvent, several studies on the process of optimization and selectivity have been reported, and the combination with microwave irradiation has emerged as a green chemistry protocol to produce high atom economy and yields. In this review, we have compiled microwave-assisted organic synthesis in aqueous media, including examples of the most cutting-edge methodologies employed for the heterocyclic scaffolds used in medicinal chemistry.
