N-Bromosuccinimide as an Almost Neutral Catalyst for Efficient Synthesis of Dihydropyrimidinones Under Microwave Irradiation

Abstract

NBS has been used as a mild, efficient and almost neutral catalyst for the preparation of dihydropyrimidinones (DHPMs) and the corresponding thio-derivatives under microwave irradiation. By this method, a wide variety of DHPMs were synthesized in good to high yields.
