In situ formed tert-butyl hypoiodite as an efficient oxidant for rapid, room temperature, metal-free aromatization of Biginelli 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones under basic conditions
Abstract:A mild, highly efficient synthetic method was developed for the dehydrogenation of 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones employing in situ formed tert-butyl hypoiodite under basic conditions. The oxidant was prepared by the reaction of molecular iodine and potassium tertbutoxide. The reaction was carried out in dry tetrahydrofuran at room temperature and high purity products were isolated in high yields after simple work-up. The reaction times (3-10 min.) indicated the new method is superior in comparion to other li… Show more
“…Various ketones possessing α-hydrogen have been alkylated at the α-position in the presence of primary alcohols 74 via a ligand-mediated catalytic dehydrogenation (LMCD) strategy (Scheme 2) and the reactions have been carried out at 120 °C in toluene medium by using the ruthenium( ii ) catalysts 1a – 4a . It has been observed that isolated yield for this reaction is the highest with 3a but in all cases, the yield is quite high.…”
Ruthenium(II) complexes [RuL(CO)Cl(PPh3)2], 1a – 4a have been synthesized with ligands PhN=NC(Ar)NOH, HL 1 ‒ 4 respectively by varying the pendant aryl (Ar) groups. The molecular geometries all four complexes...

Known methods of synthesis of dihydropyrimidines and their oxidized products were modified, the impact of hydrogen bonds on stabilization of preferred tautomer and biological activities were studied.
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.
