Ag. Martinez et al., NEW PROCEDURES FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF HETEROCYCLIC SUBSTITUTED AND 2,4-DIFUNCTIONALIZED PYRIMIDINES, Tetrahedron, 52(23), 1996, pp. 7973-7982
N-Tosyl-2- and -3-acetylpyrrols 1 or N-tosyl-2-pyrrolidone 5 were cond
ensed with cyano compounds in the presence of triflic anhydride (Tf(2)
O) to yield heteroarylpyrimidines. 2,4-Difunctionalized pyrimidines we
re obtained by reaction of the corresponding 2,4-bis(methylsulfonyl)py
rimidines with nucleophiles. Copyright (C) 1996 Published by Elsevier
