Abstract
A regioselective, iridium-catalyzed multicomponent synthesis of pyrimidines from amidines and up to three (different) alcohols proceeds via a sequence of condensation and dehydrogenation steps. While the condensation steps deoxygenate the alcohol components, the dehydrogenations lead to aromatization. PN5P-Ir-pincer complexes catalyze this sustainable multicomponent process most efficiently.
