The Cover Feature shows a sustainable route to transform CO 2 into quinazoline‐2,4(1 H ,3 H )‐diones using basic salt‐lake brine as catalyst. The abundant, inexpensive, and available basic salt‐lake brine of Zhabuye used as catalyst could efficiently promote the reaction of 2‐aminobenzonitriles under low CO 2 pressure, and very high yields of value‐added products were obtained. We hope that this greener route can provide ideas and methods for the further application of salt‐lake brines as catalysts.
