Abstract

The diisopropyl ethyl ammonium acetate (DIPEAc)-promoted Biginelli protocol has been developed for the first time by a successive one-pot three-component reaction of aldehydes, ethylcyanoacetate/ethyl acetoacetate, and thiourea/urea to afford pharmacologically promising 1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidines in high yields at room temperature. The key benefits of the present scheme are the capability to allow a variability of functional groups, short reaction times, easy workup, high yields, recyclability of the catalyst, and solvent-free conditions, thus providing economic and environmental advantages. In addition, a series of 4-oxo-6-aryl-2-thioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidine-5-carbonitriles analogues were synthesized and selected for their in vitro antifungal and antibacterial activities.
