Abstract
Diastereoselective syntheses of 3-aryl-(S/R)-6-methyl-1-[(S/R)-1-phenylethyl)]-2-thioxotetrahydro pyrimidin-4(1H)-ones were achieved in good yields by the condensation of aryl isothiocyanates with ethyl 3-(1-phenylethylamino)butanoate in a one-pot reaction. Benzylation of these substrates illustrated that the orientations of the exocylic and endocylic groups determine the stereochemical outcome of the product formed.
