An efficient and selective oxidative procedure for the synthesis of quinazolinones from readily available <i>o</i>-aminobenzamides and styrenes was developed. A number of potentially pharmacologically relevant quinazolinones were prepared using metal- and catalyst-free conditions. The synthesis procedure highlights the sustainable operation, low-priced, free from perilous materials, green solvent and environmental affability. The synthesized products were isolated in moderate to excellent yields.
