Abstract

Reaction of ethyl 4-bromoacetoacetate (1) with benzaldehyde (2a) and urea in the presence of hydrochloric acid gave 6-bromomethyl-5-ethoxycarbonyl-4-phenyl-3,4-dihydro-2(1H)-pyrimidinone (3a). Similarly, reaction of 1 and urea with p-anisaldehyde (2b), p-hydroxybenzaldehyde (2c), and furfural (2d) afforded the corresponding 6-bromomethyl-3,4-dihydro-2(1H)-pyrimidinones 3b-3d. Thermolysis of compounds 3a-3d gave rise to the corresponding 4,7-dihydrofuro[3,4-d]pyrimidine-2,5(1H,3H)-diones 4a-4d.
