A novel convenient synthesis of 5-acyl-1,2-dihydropyrimidin-2-ones via 4-trichloromethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidin-2-ones

A novel four-step methodology for the synthesis of 5-acyl-1,2-dihydropyrimidin-2-ones has been developed.

Camps reaction for the synthesis of 3-RS-4-arylquinolin-2-ones

Solid-phase synthesis of 1,5-substituted 2-(N-alkylamino)-imidazolidin-4-ones

The solid-phase synthesis of 1,5-substituted 2-(N-alkylamino)-imidazolidin-4-one from resin-bound amino acid is described. Using a guanidinylating reagent in solution to form the guanidine moiety instead of resin-bound carbodiimide, an N-alkyl substitution is introduced specifically onto the 2-amino position. Combined with an alkylation step of the resin-bound amino acid prior to guanidinylation, all desired substitutions of the final products are achieved without racemization at chiral centers. This reaction sequence is also compatible with a variety of protected amino acid side chains.
