A novel method for synthesis of quinazoline through the hydrogen transfer/annulation reaction using 2-nitrobenzyl alcohol and benzylamine as starting materials is presented. The reaction is catalyzed by a ruthenium(II) complex bearing a N-heterocyclic carbene nitrogen phosphine (CNP) ligand. The pronounced α-donating capacity of the carbene within the CNP ligand of the catalyst plays a crucial role in stabilizing the catalytically active species. Additionally, the hemilability of the nitrogen facilitates the creation of coordination vacancies, which are essential for the activation of reaction substrate molecules. The synergistic interplay between these two functionalities markedly enhances catalytic efficiency. This catalytic system shows the significant catalytic activity and selectivity, along with a broad substrate adaptability. All substrates yield the target product in good to excellent yields with the maximum yield reaching 95%. Control experiments have substantiated that benzaldehyde and phenylmethanimine may serve as intermediates in the reaction, thereby reinforcing the role of benzylamine as both a hydrogen donor and a nitrogen source in the process.
