ABSTRACT

A simple and efficient approach towards one step synthesis of 6-amino-5-cyano-4-phenyl-2-mercapto pyrimidine and its hydroxyl derivatives have been developed by three component condensation of aromatic aldehydes, malononitrile and thiourea/urea in presence of phosphorus pentoxide (Scheme 1)..

Keywords:

Phosphorus pentoxide, urea/thiourea, pyrimidine one step synthesis.
