Abstract

A novel and convenient one-pot synthesis of multisubstituted pyrimidine analogues via multicomponent reactions is disclosed. This catalyst-free domino reaction proceeded smoothly in good to excellent yields and offered several other advantages including short reaction time, a simple experimental workup procedure, and no toxic byproduct. In addition, the obtained products in our experiments are interesting nitrogen heterocyclic molecules containing alpha- and beta-amino acid blocks.
