Alumina Catalyzed Synthesis of Fused Thioxopyrimidine Derivatives Under Microwaves

Abstract

Abstract An expeditious solventless approach for the synthesis of pyrazolino[3,4-d]/isoxazolino[3,4-d]/pyrano[2,3-d]/iminopyrimidino[4,5-d]/thioxopyrimidino[4,5-d]/thiazino[5,4-d] pyrimidines from 2-thiobarbituric acid using supported reagents (acidic/basic alumina) under microwave irradiation (MWI) is described. The reaction times were brought down from hours to minutes with yield enhancement. Also the procedure highlights the versatility of solid supports.
