Abstract
A ZnCl2-catalyzed three-component coupling reaction allows the synthesis of various 4,5-disubstituted pyrimidine derivatives in a single step from functionalized enamines, triethyl orthoformate, and ammonium acetate. The procedure can be successfully applied to the efficient synthesis of mono- and disubstituted pyrimidine derivatives, using methyl ketone derivatives instead of enamines.
