General procedure for the preparation of 4-Phenoxy-2-arylquinazoline(3a-e) with aryne:

To a stirred solution of 2-phenylquinazolin-4(3H)-one (1a-e) (0.45mmol, 1.0 equiv) and

trimethylsilyl phenyl triflate (2) (0.54mmol, 1.2 equiv) in acetonitrile as solvent, was added

cesium fluoride (1.35mmol, 3.0 equiv) at room temperature. The mixture was stirred at

room temperature for 4hr, after completing the reaction, reaction mixture was concentrated

in vacuo. To the resulting residue, water was added, and the mixture was extracted with

ethyl acetate three times. The combined organic phase was dried over sodium sulphate, and

concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was purified by column chromatography (EtOAc in

Hexane) resulting the product.

General procedure for the preparation of 2-phenoxy pyridine derivatives(8a-f) with aryne

To a stirred solution of 4, 6-diphenylpyridin-2(1H)-one (7a-f) (0.24mmol, 1.0 equiv) and

trimethylsilyl phenyl triflate (2) (0.29mmol, 1.2 equiv) in acetonitrile as solvent, was added

Cesium fluoride (0.72mmol, 3.0 equiv) at room temperature. The mixture was stirred at

room temperature for 4hr, after completing the reaction, reaction mixture was concentrated

in vacuo. To the resulting residue, water was added, and the mixture was extracted with

ethyl acetate three times. The combined organic phase was dried over sodium sulphate, and

concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was purified by column

chromatography (EtoAc in Hexane), resulting the product.

X-ray crystallographic data ofcompound 8c:

X-ray intensity data of 7234 reflections (of which 3530 unique) were collected on X’calibur

CCD area-detector diffractometer equipped with graphite monochromated MoKradiation

( = 0.71073 Å). The crystal used for data collection was of dimensions 0.30 x 0.20 x 0.20

mm. The cell dimensions were determined by least-squares fit of angular settings of 1788

reflections in the range 3.93 to 27.57o. The intensities were measured by scan mode for

ranges 3.53 to 26.00o. 2176 reflections were treated as observed (I > 2(I)). Data were

corrected for Lorentz, polarisation and absorption factors. The structure was solved by direct

methods using SHELXS97 [1]. All non-hydrogen atoms of the molecule were located in the

best E-map. Full-matrix least-squares refinement was carried out using SHELXL97 [1]. The

final refinement cycles converged to an R = 0.0445 and wR (F2) = 0.0911 for the observed

data. Residual electron densities ranged from -0.126 <<0.158 eÅ-3. Atomic scattering

factors were taken from International Tables for X-ray Crystallography (1992, Vol. C, Tables

4.2.6.8 and 6.1.1.4). The crystallographic data are summarized in Table 1. An ORTEP view of

the compound with atomic labelling is shown in Fig.1 [2]. The geometry of the molecule was

calculated using the WinGX [3], PARST [4] and PLATON [5] software’s. The compound 4-(3-

Nitrophenyl)-2-phenoxy-6-phenylpyridine C23H17N2O3(8c), crystallizes in the monoclinic space

group C2/c with the unit-cell parameters: a,b,c as 22.076 (2), 10.1079 (8), 16.921 (2)Å,β =

107.250 (11)o and Z = 8. The crystal structure was solved by direct methods using single-

crystal X-ray diffraction data collected at room temperature and refined by full-matrix least-

squares procedures to a final R-value of 0.0445 for 2176 observed reflections.

X-ray intensity data of 5807 reflections (of which 3223 unique) were collected on X’calibur

CCD area-detector diffractometer equipped with graphite monochromated MoKradiation
