An Environmentally Friendly Solvent-free Synthesis of 3,4-Dihydropyrimidinones using a p-Aminobenzene Sulfonic Acid Catalyzed Biginelli Reaction
Abstract
Anhydrous p-aminobenzene sulphonic acid mediated solvent-free protocol is described for the synthesis of dihydropyrimidinones by the cyclocondensation of aldehydes, β-ketoesters and urea/thiourea. Yields obtained are significantly higher than those obtained utilizing classical Biginelli reaction conditions.
