Abstract

The natural organocatalyst phytic acid catalyzed one-pot Biginelli reactions by coupling β-ketoesters, aldehydes, and (thio)ureas to afford 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones/thiones. This phytic acid catalysis featured good to excellent isolated yields, solvent-free conditions, a simple workup, environmental friendliness, and a short reaction time.
