Abstract

Magnesium in methanol is an effective reagent for the chemoselective reduction of pyrimidine-2 (1H)-ones. Other reducible functionalities such as ester and alkene of enamine ester and uriedo carbonyl remain unaffected. This constitutes the first example of the formation of Biginelli 3, 4-dihydropyrimidin-2 (1H) ones through the reduction of pyrimidine-2 (1H)-ones.
