Abstract
A new convenient approach to the synthesis of N1-substituted 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones was developed using the regioselective cyclocondensation of α-chlorobenzyl isocyanates with ethyl N-alkyl(aryl)-β-aminocrotonates. A number of N1-aryl and N1-alkyl substituted Biginelli compounds difficult to obtain by other methods were prepared with high yields.
Key words
cyclocondensation - regioselectivity - α-chloroalkyl isocyanates - dihydropyrimidones - β-aminocrotonic esters

References and Notes
Improved Protocol for Preparation of α-Chlorobenzyl Isocyanates 1.
The mixture of aromatic aldehyde (1 mol, 1 equiv) and ethylcarbamate (2.2 mol, 2.2 equiv) was heated to 140-160 °C and then few drops of concd H2SO4 was added. The reaction mixture was heated at this temperature for 15 min and then cooled. A solidified mass was quenched by H2O, product(benzylidenebiscarbamate) was collected by filtration, washed with H2O, dried and used without further purification. The suspension of obtained benzylidenebis-carbamate (0.5 mol, 0.5 equiv) and PCl5 (1.1 mol, 2.2 equiv) in 500 mL of dry benzene was refluxed until no gas evolution observed (usually 3-4 h). The homogeneous solution was cooled, solvent and volatile substances were distilled off and the residue fractioned at reduced pressure.

H
)-ones 3.
To the solution of appropriate ethyl β-aminocrotonate 2 (5 mmol, 1 equiv) in 20 mL of CH2Cl2 the solution of isocyanate 1 (5.5 mmol, 1.1 equiv) in 10 mL of CH2Cl2 was added dropwise. The reaction mixture was refluxed for 2 h, cooled and the solvent was evaporated. The crude product was treated with hot 70-80% aq EtOH, allowed to stand overnight at 9 °C and then collected by filtration, washed with small amount of EtOH and dried in air.
