Abstract (PDF)
Graphical Abstract: This study presents an eco-friendly method for synthesizing 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones (DHPMs) through the Biginelli reaction. A novel Heteropolyacid-Clay (HPA-Clay) catalyst, formed by immobilizing H5PV2W10O40 on Montmorillonite KSF clay, displays enhanced stability and catalytic efficiency. Operating under solvent-free, one-pot conditions, the process delivers DHPMs with high yields and shortened reaction times. Catalyzed by 2 mol% HPA-Clay, it adheres to green chemistry principles, emphasizing cost-efficiency, environmental sustainability, and recyclability. The catalyst consistently performs over multiple cycles, showcasing promise for advancing Biginelli reactions.

Graphical Abstract: The main purpose of this research was the synthesis of highly functionalized derivatives of (+)-larixol by combination of classical and nonconventional method, like dye-sensitized photooxidation with preservation of outside chain. As a result, a series of four new cycle B derivatives of (+)-larixol were obtained. The structure of all synthesized compounds was fully confirmed by spectral method (IR, 1H and 13C NMR) and for compound containing endoperoxide functional group, additionally by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.
