Abstract: In this presentation we report the application of microwave assisted chemistry to the parallel synthesis of 4-aryl-3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones employing a solventless Biginelli multicomponent condensation protocol. The novel method employs neat mixtures of ß-ketoesters, aryl aldehydes, and urea derivatives with polyphosphate ester (PPE) being used as reaction mediator. Irradiation of these mixtures for 90 s in an unmodified household microwave oven provides dihydropyrimidones in 61-95% yield after aqueous work-up. This protcol was extended towards the parallel synthesis of DHPM compound libraries.
