A series of 1,3-disubstituted-5,6-dihydropyrimidine- 1 are prepared by
solid phase organic chemistry using a cyclization-cleavage strategy f
rom readily available amines and isocyanates. An acrylate ester of Wan
gs resin is treated with primary amines to afford N-substituted beta-a
minoesters followed by treatment with isocyanates to afford beta-ureid
o ester 4. Cyclization-cleavage of the bound ureido ester under acidic
conditions gave direct formation of 5,6-dihydropyrimidinedione 1. Cop
