Abstract
A simple, efficient, mild and green method has been developed for the synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2-ones employing dodecyl sulfonic acid as an excellent surfactant-type Bronsted acid catalyst in aqueous media at room temperature. The catalyst was shown to be equally effective for the synthesis of 1,5-benzodiazepines under the same reaction condition.
