A simple and efficient method for the synthesis of quinazolin-4(3H)-one derivatives via condensation of anthranilamide with aromatic aldehyde catalyzed by monoammonium phosphate (MAP), diammonium phosphate (DAP), and triple superphosphate (TSP), were developed. The modification of these three phosphate fertilizers using titanium tetrachloride (TiCl₄) has increased their catalytic efficiency. The prepared titanium phosphate (TiP₂O₇) was characterized using

... opic and spectroscopic methods, namely X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), and infrared spectroscopy (IR). The TiP₂O₇ was applied for the first time as a heterogeneous catalyst in quinazolin-4(3H)-ones synthesis. High yields and short reaction times were observed in the determined optimal condition (solvent nature, volume, and catalyst amount). This study shows that the TiP₂O₇ presents an exciting catalytic activity and long-term durability compared to those of MAP, DAP, and TSP.
