Bc. Hamper et al., Solid phase synthesis of dihydropyrimidinones and pyrimidinone carboxylic acids from malonic acid resin, TETRAHEDR L, 40(27), 1999, pp. 4973-4976
Malonic acid resin 1 and the corresponding diester 2 have been used for the
preparation of dihydropyrimidinones 6 and pyrimidinone carboxylic acids 8.
Knoevenagel condensation of the unsymmetrical resin bound malonate diester
2 followed by condensation with amidines provides dihydropyrimidinone carb
oxylate esters 4. Cleavage of 4 with TFA afforded the caboxylic acid 5 whic
h undergoes decarboxylation to give dihydropyrimidinone 6. Oxidation of 4 w
ith CAN followed by cleavage with TFA gave pyrimidinone carboxylic acids 8.
