One-pot, multicomponent reaction for the synthesis of 4-aryl-5-cyano-1,6-dihydro-2-thiouracils via three-component from aromatic aldehydes, ethyl 2-cyanoacetate and S-benzylisothiourea hydrochloride (methyl carbamimidothioate sulfate) under methanol is described. These compounds have many drug activities, such as anti-hepatitis C viral, anti-Severe acute respiratory syndrome and anti-HIV-1 integrese activity. The advantages of this procedure include the short reaction time, mild reaction conditions and excellent yields.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
