Most of them include the generation of enormous amounts of waste, laborious workup, and poor-yield products, all of which contribute to the impact on the environment. Therefore, it would be ideal to employ moderate, straightforward methods to construct such a strong nucleus. However, during the past fifteen years, visible light-mediated transformations have also garnered a lot of interest as an environmentally friendlier and greener alternative since they use photons as a clean energy source. This study investigates a range of representative synthetic protocols from 2021 forward to date, therefore expanding our understanding of visible light-driven quinazoline and quinazolinone derivative synthesis.
