Enaminones in Heterocyclic Synthesis: A Novel Route to Tetrahydropyrimidines, Dihydropyridines, Triacylbenzenes and Naphthofurans under Microwave Irradiation

Condensation of phthalimidoacetone (1) with DMFDMA (N,N-Dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal) has afforded enaminone 2. Refluxing 2 with equimolecular amounts of benzaldehyde and urea in acetic acid afforded a mixture of tetrahydropyrimidine 5 and the dihydropyridine 6. Compound 2 undergoes self-conden...
