Decatungstodivanadogermanic acid (H6GeW10V2O40.22H2O) was used as a green heterogeneous catalyst for the synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2-(1H)-ones from one-pot three-component cyclocondensation reaction of a β-ketoester, an aldehyde and urea/thiourea under solvent-free conditions is reported. This method provides an efficient and much improved modification of the original Biginelli reaction reported in 1893, in terms of high yields, and […]
