The reaction of 1,3-dimethylpyrimidine-2,4,6(1H,3H,5H)-trione with various
alkenes or terminal alkynes in the presence of cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate
(CAN) afforded the corresponding 5,6-dihydrofuro[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H
)-diones or furo[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-diones in moderate to good yie
