2-[N-Alkyl(benzyl)-N-(prop-2 ' -ynyl)]aminobenzamides 5 reacted with aryl i
odides 2 under palladium-copper catalysis to yield disubstituted alkynes 6-
13, which underwent a novel cyclisation in the presence of CuI, K2CO3, n-Bu
4NBr in acetonitrile to yield (E)-1-alkyl(benzyl)-3-aryl-2-(2-arylvinyl) qu
inazolin-4-ones 14-21 in excellent yields instead of the expected benzodiaz
