Abstract:

A series of polysubstituted tetrahydropyrimidines were synthesized in moderate to good yields via a one-pot,  four-componentreaction of an alkyne, formaldehyde, and amines in solid media acidic Al2O3. The advantages of this protocol include mild reaction conditions, broad substrate scope, and environmentally friendly reaction media.

Key words: Tetrahydropyrimidine, Solid media, Acidic Al2O3, Multi-component reaction, Green chemistry

General information

1H NMR spectra were recorded on a Bruker AVANCE III-400 spectrometer. Chemical shifts (in ppm) were referenced to the solvent residual signal (δ = 7.26 ppm) of CDCl3. 13C NMR spectra were obtained by using the same NMR spectrometer and were calibrated to CDCl3 (δ = 77.00 ppm). High Resolution Mass spectra were recorded using a Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance Mass Spectrometer (APEX IV, Bruker). Unless otherwise noted, materials obtained from commercial suppliers were used without further purification. Column chromatography was carried out on silica gel (particle size 200300 mesh ASTM).

 

 

A. Experiment procedure and characterization data for products

a. General procedure for the synthesis of tetrahydropyrimidines

 

Amine 2 (1 mmol) was added to a uniform mixture of compound 1 (1 mmol) and 0.75 g of acidic Al2O3. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 5 min (ground if necessary). The mixture of formaldehyde (4 mmol), amine 3 (1 mmol), and 0.75 g of acidic Al2O3 was ground at room temperature until full conversion of 3. Then the two mixtures were transferred into a round-bottom flask and stirred at 60 oC for 25 h using a magnetic stirrer. After completion, 3 mL of CH2Cl2 was added to the reaction mixture, which was then stirred and filtered. The solvent was evaporated in vacuo to afford the crude product. Chromatography on silica gel (ethyl acetatepetroleum ether) gave corresponding product 4 as a yellow crystal or liquid.
