We report an efficient solid-phase synthesis of diverse 1,3N-disubstituted quinazoline-2,4-diones. Since substitutions at the 1N-position of quinazolidine-2,4-diones were introduced by reaction between primary amines and 2-fluoro-5-nitrobenzoyl amides (SNAr reaction), substitutions that cannot be prepared by alkylation or arylation can be easily introduced. In addition, the nitro group of quinazoline-2,4-diones can be repeatedly reduced to provide 3N-amines for quinazoline-2,4-dione syntheses, allowing the synthesis of quinazoline-2,4-dione oligomers and polymers. An oligomer with four quinazoline-2,4-dione units was successfully synthesized.
