Abstract
An efficient synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrimidinones from the aldehyde, β-keto ester and urea in ethanol, using ferric chloride hexahydrate or nickel chloride hexahydrate as the catalyst, is described. Compared with the classical Biginelli reaction conditions, this new method offers better yields and shorter reaction time.
