Abstract
A library of new hydropyrimidinone/thione compounds was synthesized via the classical Biginelli reaction using hydrated cerium(III) chloride as the catalyst. The presence of a trifluoromethyl or methyl group in the diketone starting material has been established to selectively control the outcome of the Biginelli reaction where one of the two possible pyrimidinone/thione compounds is formed. The results showed that the electronic effects of substituents of the diketone directly affect the product formation. The synthesized compounds were fully characterized using 1H, 13C, and two dimensional NMR (2D NMR) spectroscopy, single crystal X-ray diffractometry, FT-IR, and ESI-HDMS techniques. We also report on the uncommon one-bond correlations which were observed in the HMBC spectra and the interesting long-range heteronuclear coupling of fluorine to hydrogen and carbon.
