Abstract
TFA-catalyzed inverse electron demand Diels-Alder (IEDDA) reactions of electron-deficient 1,3,5-triazines and electron-deficient aldehydes/ketones provide highly functionalized pyrimidines as products in good yields. The reactions involve a cascade of stepwise inverse electron demand hetero-Diels-Alder (ihDA) reactions, followed by retro-Diels-Alder (rDA) reactions and elimination of water. An acid is required for both ihDA and rDA reactions.
