Abstract
A novel divergent tandem one-pot method for the synthesis of 3,5,6-trisubstituted 1H-pyrimidin-2,4-dione derivatives is developed. In the presence of 10 mol % of Cu(OAc)2, the α-substituted Blaise reaction intermediates (R2 ≠ H) reacted with isocyanates chemoselectively to afford pyrimidin-2,4-diones, whereas the α-unsubstituted Blaise reaction intermediate (R2 = H) showed a propensity to be a C-nucleophile toward electrophiles, permitting the installation of different functionalities at the 5-position through sequential tandem reactions.
