Expeditious synthesis of 5,6,7 ,8-tetrahydro-imidazo[1,2-a ] pyrimidin-2-ones and 3,4,6,7 ,8,9-hexahydro-pyrimido[,2-a ] pyrimidin-2-ones

A convenient synthesis of new 5,6,7 ,8-tetrahydro-imidazo[ 1,2-a]pyrimidin-2-ones and 3,4,6,7 ,8,9-hexahydro-pyrimido[1 ,2a]pyrimidin-2- ones from the Baylis-Hillman adducts of acrylonitrile and their derivatives is described. A common strategy employed to achieve the syntheses of title compounds involved generation of diamines from different Baylis-Hillman derivatives followed by treatment with cyanogen bromide at reflux temperature to trigger a double intramolecular cyclization.

A facile route to the synthesis of novel 2-amino-1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidines from Baylis-Hillman products of acrylonitrile

A facile route for the synthesis of novel 5-substituted-2-amino-1,4,5,6-tetrahydro pyrimidines from the Baylis-Hillman adducts obtained from reaction of aldehydes and acrylonitrile is described.

Studies toward the construction of substituted piperidine-2-ones and pyridine-2-ones from Baylis-Hillman adducts: Discovery of a facile synthesis of 5-methyl-4-oxo-6-aryl-3-aza-bicyclo[3.1.0]hexane-1-carboxylates

Studies toward the construction of functionalised piperidone derivatives from derivatives of Baylis-Hillman adducts are described. Interestingly the 6-oxo-4-aryl-piperidine-3-carboxylates generated during the study serve as precursor for the facile synthesis of 4-oxo-6-aryl-3-aza-bicyclo[3.1.0]hexane-1-carboxylates
