Abstract

An efficient, mild, benign, and practical method for one-pot conversion of N-tosyl-1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidines into pyrimidines is discussed in detail. In this method, N-tosyl-1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidines are first prepared via N-tosylation of tetrahydropyrimidines with TsCl and then treated with 1.5 equivalents of NaOH in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) under air at 60 °C to afford corresponding pyrimidines in 70–95% yields via cascade β-elimination and aromatization.
