Pyrimidines bicyclic, solid-phase

Microwave-Promoted Synthesis of Bicyclic Pyrimidine Derivatives on Solid-Phase... 

Bomah and co-workers [99] developed an efficient procedure for the synthesis of ring-A fused [3,2-h]pyrimidines 53 in a steroidal moiety. The novel steroidal pyrimidines were prepared via a solid phase three-component reaction of a 2-hydro-xymethylene-3-keto steroid, an arylaldehyde and ammonium acetate under micro-wave irradiation. This protocol has been applied successfully to the cyclization of bicyclic, monocyclic and acyclic 2-hydroxymethylene ketones with diversely substituted aromatic aldehydes (Scheme 39).
