Abstract

Biginelli reaction was carried out using cadmium chloride as a catalyst to obtain the dihydropyrimidones in excellent yields. This condensation was applicable to various aldehydes with ethyl acetoacetate and urea in acetonitrile at reflux temperature.

Key words

cadmium chloride - ethyl acetoacetate - urea - multicomponent reaction - dihydroprimidones
