an improved, simple, and facile synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1h)-ones by employing three-component, one-pot condensation reaction of β-keto ester, aromatic aldehydes, and urea or n-methylurea using lacl3/clch2cooh as an inexpensive and green chemistry catalyst system under solvent-free conditions described. compared with the classicalbiginelli reaction conditions, this method has the adv...

Nano-SbCl5.SiO2 and SbCl5.SiO2 are bench-top catalysts which are reusable, readily available, versatile andefficient for promotion of many acid catalyzed organic reactions. These catalysts do not need specialprecautions for preparation, handling or storage, and they can be stored at an ambient temperature for monthswithout losing their catalytic activity. 4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones(thiones) ...
