“…Synthetic strategies for the dihydropyrimidinone nucleus involve both one-pot and multistep approaches [8,9]. At present, several general methods are known for the preparation of dihydropyrimidinones, using various Lewis and protic acids such as BF 3 ⋅OEt 2 [10], ZrCl 4 [11,12], Sc(OTf) 3 [13], zeolites [14][15][16], SbCl 3 [17], CuCl 2 ⋅2H 2 O [18] trichloroisocyanuric acid (TCCA) [19], RuCl 3 [20], silica sulfuric acid (SSA) [21], and 1,3-dichloro-5,5-dimethylhydantoin (DCDMH) [22]. However, some of these procedures suffer from disadvantages such as unsatisfactory yields, cumbersome product isolation procedures, and environmental pollution.…”
