H_3PW_(12)0_(40): An Efficient and Recyclable Heterogeneous Catalyst for the Selective Synthesis of 2-Aryl-5,6-dihydro-4H-1,3-oxazines and 2-Aryl-1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidines

摘要

An environmentally friendly and highly efficient procedure has been developed for the selective synthesis of 2-aryl-5,6-dihydro-4H-1,3-oxazines and 2-aryl-1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidines by cyclocondensation of arylnitriles with 3-amino- 1-propanol and 1,3-diaminopropane in the presence of catalytic amPoWu_(nts of H_3PW 12)O_(40)under thermal conditions and MW irradiation. Under the same reaction conditions, dicyanobenzenes are transformed to their corresponding mono-oxazines and monotetrahydropyrimidines with excellent chemoselectivity. These reactions are simple and clean, giving the products in high yields and high purity. The catalyst can be easily recovered after the reaction and reused efficiently in subsequent runs.
