Three-component condensation of pyruvic acid with aromatic aldehydes and some aminoazoles was developed as a procedure for the synthesis 5-aryl-5,8-dihydroazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-7-carboxylic acids. An influence of solvent type on the composition of the reaction products was found. The structures of the compounds obtained were proved by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, NOE experiments, and X-ray analysis.
heterocycles - multi-component reactions - pyruvic acid - aminoazoles - dihydropyrimidine derivatives
