Synthesis of highly substituted 4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidines via a one-pot three-component condensation reaction. 2013
A one-pot three-component reaction, involving condensation of 2-aminopyridines, aldehydes, and ketones/aldehydes under trifluoromethanesulfonic acid catalysis, provides rapid access to highly substituted novel 4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidines.
