A facile synthesis of 2,4,6-trisubstituted pyrimidines from the reaction of α-chloro oxime ethers with Grignard reagents has been developed. Alkyl and aryl groups can be easily introduced at the 2-...
A convergent synthesis of a pyrimidine core has been achieved. Treatment of alpha,alpha-dibromo oxime ethers, which are easily derived from the corresponding esters, with a variety of Grignardreagents provides trisubstituted pyrimidines in good yields. This new method offers an easy access to functionalized pyrimidines.
