S. Brandl et al., AN EFFICIENT NEW PYRIMIDINE SYNTHESIS - A PATHWAY TO OCTUPOLES, Journal fur praktische Chemie, Chemiker-Zeitung, 338(5), 1996, pp. 451-459
The condensation of N,N,N'-tris(trimethylsilyl)amidines (6, 11, 22) wi
th vinamidinium salts (1, 7) in the presence of potassium fluoride is
the method of choice for the synthesis of pyrimidines (8, 12, 20, 23).
Octupoles comprising 1,3,5-benzene (8) and triphenylamine (12, 20) de
rivatives can be prepared in high yields.
