Abstract
In this Research Article, we report an efficient synthesis of 1,3-dimethyl-5-aryl-7-(pyridine-3(2)(4)-yl)pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-diones via a three-component reaction of aryl aldehydes, 1,3-dimethyl-6-aminouracil and carbonitriles in the presences of triazine diphosphonium hydrogen sulfate ionic liquid supported on functionalized nanosilica (APTADPHS-nSiO2) as a reusable catalyst under microwave irradiation and solvent-free conditions. The bis-derivatives of pyridine-pyrimidines were also efficiently prepared from dialdehydes and dinitriles. In addition, 3-methyl-1H-pyrazole-5-amine was used successfully instead of 1,3-dimethyl-6-aminouracil under the same conditions to afford the corresponding products in high yields. The catalyst can be reused at least five times without any significant loss of its activity. The easy recovery, reusability and excellent activity of the catalyst as well as easy workup are other noteworthy advantages of this method.
