Behbahania a Department of Chemistry Karaj Branch Islamic Azad University Karaj Iran CHRONICLE ABSTRACT Article history In this paper the synthesis of arylidene heterobicyclicpyrimidinones and thiones is reported by Received April 28 2018 condensation of aromatic aldehydes cyclopentanone and urea or thiourea in the present of Received in revised form FePO4 as the green and recyclable catalyst. Using solvent-free conditions non-toxic and June 29 2018 inexpensive materials simple and clean work-up relatively short reaction times and high Accepted August 12 2018 yields of the products are the advantages of this method. Also some new derivatives of Available online arylidene dihydropyrimidinones and thiones were prepared by this green method.

Introduction Pyrimidinones are used in various pharmaceutical and biochemical 2 Therefore an interest for the synthesis of 3 4-dihydropyrimidin-2 1H -ones DHPMs and their derivations is tremendously One of the most important functionalized pyrimidinones is fused derivatives with an arylidene group. These heterocyclic compounds are significant intermediates for the preparation of many biologically active products. For example some of them show a broad-spectrum antitumor Because of the various therapeutic utility of arylidene heterobicyclicpyrimidinones a number of synthesis routs for these derivatives were In most cases using strong Brönsted acid such as HCl or base such as sodium alkoxide or .
