Abstract Dihydropyrimidinone derivatives were prepared by tri-component reaction of ethyl
aceto acetate, aldehydes and thiourea in the presence of modified montmorillonite nanostructure
as a catalyst and used as key intermediates for the synthesis of ethyl-5-(aryl)-2-(2-alkokxy-2-oxoe-
thylidene)-7-methyl-3-oxo-3,5-dihydro-2H-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyri midine-6-carboxylate derivatives
with use of diethyl and dimethyl acetylene dicarboxylate by two methods: (a) in methanol as a sol-
vent under ultrasonic irradiation at ambient temperature (b) in methanol as a solvent at ambient
temperature (conventional magnetic stirring). Ultrasound-assisted synthesis provides excellent
yields in short reaction times (15–25 min) at room temperature.ª 2015 The Authors. Production and hosting by Elsevier B.V. on behalf of King Saud University. This isan open access article under the CCBY-NC-ND license (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/).
1. Introduction
Dihydropyrimidinone derivatives have attracted considerable
interest in recent years because of therapeutic and pharmaco-logical properties nowadays. For example, they can serve asthe integral backbones of several calcium channel blockers
(Rovnyak et al., 1995; Aswal et al., 1990), antihypertensiveagents (Atwal et al., 1991; Grover et al., 1995) anda-1a-antagonists (Kappe, 2000a,b). In addition, several marinealkaloids containing the dihydropyrimidinone-5-carboxylatemotifs also show interesting biological activities (Overmanet al., 1995). Substituted 3, 4-dihydropyrimidines a and 3,
4-dihydro-1, 3-oxazines b are regarded as promising synthonsin the design of new bioactive compounds (Scheme 1). Forinstance, structural scaffold a is represented by poly functional
3,4-dihydropyrimidines known as Biginelli compounds(Kappe, 1993, 2000a,b) which include a number of antiviral,anti-bacterial, anti-hypertensive, and anti-inflammatory agents
(Kappe, 2000a,b).Many pyrimidine derivatives have been reported to possess
useful medicinal and biological activities (Barton and Ollis,1974; Brown et al., 1984; Sasaki et al., 1980; Griengl et al.,

1987). In the last few years, various pyrimidinone and pyrimid-inone derivatives substituted either at C-5 or at C-6 positionshave emerged in the field of chemotherapy (Scheme 2)
(Parlato et al., 2004). Recently, the pyrimidinone derivatives2-methylthio-6-[(2-alkylamino) ethyl]-4(3H)-pyrimidinoneshave been shown to posses activity against positive strand
(vesicular stomatitis virus) RNA virus (Scheme 2) (Bottaet al., 1999).
A series of 1-(biphenylmethylamidoalkyl) pyrimidinoneshave also been designed as nano molar inhibitors of recombi-
nant lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 with highpotency in whole human plasma. Also, thienopyrimidinederivatives have been reported to possess useful molluscidal,
larvacidal activities against Biomphalaria alexandrina andSchistosoma mansoni, snails.

Although the Claisen rearrangement is an excellent methodfor C–C bond formation and has been successfully employedfor the synthesis of a number of furo [3, 2-d] pyrimidines, pyr-
ano [3, 2-d] pyrimidines and dihydrofuro [2, 3-d] pyrimidinederivatives (Kawahara et al., 1985; Majumdar and Das,1997), there are hardly many reports in the pyrimidinone ser-
ies. Previously synthesis and characterization of pyrimidi-none-peptoid hybrid molecules that modulate Hsp70 activityin vitro and that, in some cases, prevent cancer cell prolifera-
tion have been reported (Wright et al., 2008; Fewell et al.,2004, 2001; Rodina et al., 2007). Recently we have reportedsynthesis a series of thiazoline compounds from reaction of thi-osemicarbazone derivatives of aldehydes and ketoses with
alkyl acetylenic esters (Darehkordi et al., 2007).The sonochemistry is a unique method in chemical reac-
tions, because of cavitations, a physical process that creates,
enlarges, and implodes gaseous and vaporous cavities in anirradiated liquid. Cavitations induce very high local tempera-tures and pressures inside the bubbles (cavities), leading to
turbulent flow of the liquid and enhanced mass transfer(Ranjbar-karimi et al., 2010).
Ultrasound irradiation has been considered as a clean and
useful protocol in organic synthesis in the last three decades(Xue and Li, 2008; Wang et al., 2008; Li et al., 2010), and

pyrimidinone derivatives. In our earlier studies, we havereported reaction of thiosemicarbazone derivatives with
DAMAD and DEAD at ambient temperature. Herein, wehave reacted DMAD and DEAD with different dihydropyrim-idine-2-(1H)-ones using both ultrasonic irradiation method
and a conventional method.Initially, we started the condensation of DMAD
(0.001 mol) with ethyl 4-(4-methoxyphenyl)-6-methyl-2-
thioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidine-5-carboxylate (0.001 mol)in dichloromethane at room temperature for 12 h. This ledto poor yield (30%) of ethyl-5-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-(2-meth-

oxy-2-oxoethylidene)-7-methyl-3-oxo-3,5-dihydro- 2H-thiazol-o[3,2-a]pyrimidine-6-carboxylate(6c). To enhance the yield of
the reaction, temperature was increased to 60 �C but no appre-ciable increment was observed in the product yield. Choice ofsolvent is also very crucial factor for condensation reaction.
We also considered the solvent effect for this reaction. Thereaction was tested in a variety of solvents such as H2O,EtOAC, H2O-EtOAC and EtOH, but none of the above sol-
vents were found to be more effective than methanol (Table 1).Since water exhibits a unique reactivity and selectivity differentfrom conventional organic solvents, the reaction was also

carried out in water. Nevertheless, the reaction, at 60 �C, didnot give the desired product and the starting material wasrecovered, whereas after a prolonged reaction (12 h) at
100 �C, only trace of the desired products was identified byTLC. It was identified that methanol and ethanol, especiallymethanol were a choice for the reaction and the desired prod-
uct was obtained in methanol at 30 �C in excellent yield(Tables 1 and 3).
In this pursuit we first examined the reaction of pyrimidi-
none derivative 4a with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate inethanol at ambient temperature. This led to excellent yield(92%) of ethyl-5-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-(2-methoxy-2-oxoethy-lidene)-7-methyl-3-oxo-3,5-dihydro- 2H-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimi-
dine-6-carboxylate 6c at 120 min. First of all, we studiedthe conventional magnetic stirring for the synthesis ofethyl-5-(aryl)-2-(2-alkokxy-2-oxoethylidene)-7-methyl-3-oxo-3,
5-dihydro-2H-thiazolo [3, 2-a] pyrimidine-6-carboxylate deriv-atives. In general, the desire products were isolated in excel-lent yields without purification (Scheme 5 Table 3).
To improve our studies, and in order to decrease the reac-tion times and increase the yield, the synthesis of the samecompounds 6a–6i was carried out using ultrasound irradia-
tion, at room temperature. In the first, we examined thereaction of pyrimidinone derivative 4a with dimethyl acety-lenedicarboxylate promoted by ultrasound in ethanol to givethe corresponding 5-(4-cholorophenyl)-2-(2-methoxy-2-oxoe-
thylidene)-7-methyl-3-oxo-3, 5-dihydro-2H-thiazolo [3, 2-a]pyrimidine-6-carboxylate 6a in excellent yield (95%) only in25 min (Table 3, entry 1). Therefore all of the compounds
6a–6i were synthesized using ultrasound irradiation, at roomtemperature, shorter reaction times and excellent yields. Theultrasonic method was simpler and the products were isolated
without further purification (Scheme 6 Table 3).As therein revealed, using conventional magnetic stirring,
the resulting product was obtained with 92% yield after
120 min (Table 3, entry 1); however, under ultrasonic irradi-ation, with the power 360 W, irradiation frequency 47 kHzand the reaction temperature 27–30 �C, the excellent prod-ucts yield (95%) was obtained after only 20 min (Table 3,
entry 1). To establish the generality of the ultrasonic-assistedreaction, a series of dihydropyrimidinone derivatives wereemployed in this reaction, and the results are listed in
Table 3.The reaction is mainly condensation which fallowed by
cyclization. Initially the sulfur atom from dihydropyrimidi-
none attacks to the carbon triplet bond of acetylenic ester com-pound which is the prone to nucleophilic attack. Thencyclization proceeds on to the esoteric (CO2R) function to giveproducts 6 and 7 in excellent yield (Scheme 5). A plausible
mechanism has been proposed for the reactions ofpyrimidinone derivatives with DMAD and DEAD to yieldethyl-5-(aryl)-2-(2-alkoxy-2-oxoethylidene)-7-methyl-3-oxo-3,
5-dihydro-2H thiazolo [3,2a] py- rimidine-6-carboxylate deriv-atives as shown in Scheme 3.
Compounds 6a–6i are yellow or orange solid. The UV–Vis-
ible absorption of these products demonstrates major absorp-tion in wavelength ranges of 278.32–402.02 nm in DMSOsolvent at room temperature as indicated in Table 2.
Table 3 shows the stricture and yield of the ethyl 5-(4-Alkylphenyl)-2-(2-Alkoxy-2-oxoethylidene)-7-methyl-3-oxo-3,5-dihydro-2H-thiazolo [3, 2-a] pyrimidine-6-carboxylate deriv-ative (6a–6i).

The structure of compound ethyl 5-(4-Alkylphenyl)-2-(2-Alkoxy-2-oxoethylidene)-7-methyl-3-oxo-3, 5-dihydro-2H-thiazolo [3, 2-a] pyrimidine-6-carboxylate was deduced from
their 1H and 13C NMR, UV–Vis and elemental analysis.
3. Experimental section
3.1. Apparatus
A multiwave ultrasonic generator (Bandlin Sonopuls Gerate-Typ: UW 3200, Germany) equipped with a converter/trans-ducer and titanium oscillator (horn), 12.5 mm in diameter,
operating at 50 kHz with a maximum power output of780 W, was used for the ultrasonic irradiation. The ultrasonicgenerator automatically adjusted the power level. Melting
points were determined in open capillary tubes by an Electro-thermal IA 9000 melting point apparatus. IR spectra (KBr)were obtained on a Matson-1000 FT-IR spectrometer. Theproton and carbon-13 NMR spectra were recorded with a
BRUKER DRX-500 AVANCE spectrometer at 500 and125.7 MHz respectively with Me4Si as an internal standard(chemical shifts in d, ppm). Element analyses (C, H, and N)were performed with a Heracus CHN-O-Rapid analyzer.UV–Vis spectra were recorded with a CARY 100 CONC spec-trophotometer. Their results corresponded to the calculated
values within experimental error. TLC was performed on silicagel PolyGram SIL G/UV 254 plates. The starting materialswere purchased from Merck and used without further
purification. All yields refer to isolated products. Pyrimidinederivatives were synthesized by following procedure:
A mixture of ethyl acetoacetate or acetyl acetone 2(2 mmol), appropriate aldehyde 1 (2 mmol), thiourea 3
(3 mmol) and montmorillonite catalyst (0.6 g) was placed ina test tube and heated in a bathe oil under solvent free condi-tions, for 120 min (Scheme 4). After cooling the reaction mix-
ture, ethanol was added to that and catalyst was removed byfiltration. The filtrate was poured into the crushed ice waterand the resulting precipitate recrystallized from hot ethanol
to afford pure product. All of the compounds were character-ized by MP, FT-IR, 13C and 1H NMR, UV–Vis spectropho-tometer and elements analysis.

A solution of DMAD (0.001 mol, 0.140 g) or DEAD(0.001 mol, 0.172 g) in 3 ml methanol was added to a solutionof pyrimidinones derivatives (0.001 mol, 0.346 g) in methanol
(10 cc) in small portions. Mixture was stirred at ambient tem-perature for 2 h. The resulting yellow precipitate was filteredand washed with cold methanol or ethanol. The product was
obtained without purification as yellow powder (Scheme 5).

4. Conclusion
In conclusion, we have developed two different simple syn-
thetic methods to prepare ethyl-5-(aryl)-2-(2-alkokxy-2-oxoe-thylidene)-7-methyl-3-oxo-3, 5-dihydro-2H-thiazolo [3, 2-a]pyrimidine-6-carboxylate derivatives, conventional magnetic
stirring and ultrasonic irradiation. Both of the methods ledto excellent yield. Ultrasonic irradiation displays dramaticallyreduced reaction time compared to conventional magneticstirring method, and also affords the desired products in high
yields and purity.
