Abstract
Two different approaches to the synthesis of 1-unsubstituted 5-cinnamoyl-3,4-dihydropyrimidine-2(1H)-ones have been developed. The first includes N(1)-protection of the starting 5-acetyl-3,4-dihydropyrimidine-2(1H)-one, further Claisen–Schmidt reaction, and cleavage of the protecting group. The second approach consists of one-pot condensation of urea, aldehyde, and cinnamoylacetone as dicarbonyl component. The 5-cinnamoylderivative synthesis starting from 5-acetyl-1,3-dialkyl-3,4-dihydropyrimidine-2(1H)-ones is also shown.
