R. Gupta et al., IMPROVED SYNTHESES OF SOME ETHYL 4-ARYL-6-METHYL-1,2,3,4-TETRAHYDROPYRIMIDIN-2-ONE THIONE-5-CARBOXYLATES BY MICROWAVE IRRADIATION, Indian journal of chemistry. Sect. B: organic chemistry, including medical chemistry, 34(2), 1995, pp. 151-152
Syntheses of some ethyl l-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidin-2-one-5-carboxyl
ates and ethyl ,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidin-2-thione-5-carboxylates in u
nsealed vessels by microwave irradiation using ethanol as energy trans
fer medium is reported. There has been a considerable increase in the
reaction rate with better yields.
