Abstract
An array of tetrasubstituted saturated fused pyrimidines has been synthesized through two-sequential, simple, and efficient one-pot operations. The strategic utilization of the N-PMB group proved critical in the ability to construct a broad range of N-vinyl tertiary enamide starting materials. This stands as a flexible approach to functionalized pyrimidines with the capability of manipulating either ketone, acid chloride, or nitrile reaction partners.

References and Notes
Spectroscopic studies and experiments with carbocation scavengers (thioanisole, triethylsilane, etc.) were unsuccessful in identifying the PMB-containing side product.
11Temperature-controlled experiments were performed with a Bruker 500 MHz, Avance III spectrometer with a 5 mm Bruker PABBO cryoprobe with data collection at -70 ˚C, -40 ˚C, -20 ˚C, 0 ˚C, and 30 ˚C.
13Successful formation of saturated fused pyrimidine products can also be achieved in the absence of 2-chloropyridine, although longer reaction times are required (4-72 h) and lower yields (10-15% loss) are typically obtained.
