Direct access to pyrimidines through organocatalytic inverse-electron-demand Diels–Alder reaction of ketones with 1,3,5-triazine†
Abstract
An organocatalytic inverse-electron-demand Diels–Alder reaction of ketones with 1,3,5-triazine through enamine catalysis has been developed. This method could furnish 4,5-disubstituted pyrimidines in good yields and high levels of regioselectivities.
