Abstract

The oxidative N‐acylation reaction of 3,4‐dihydropyrimidin‐2‐(1H)‐ones (DHPMs) with enals and N‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalysts is described. The reaction proceeds in the presence of quinone oxidant without additional acyl transfer agents and in the asymmetric variant produces pharmaceutically relevant N3‐acylated products with good‐to‐moderate enantioselectivity.
