Revisit to the Biginelli reaction: a novel and recyclable bioglycerol-based sulfonic acid functionalized carbon catalyst for one-pot synthesis of substituted 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2-(1H)-ones
synthetic protocol has been developed for the synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2-(1H)-ones by using a novel bioglycerol-based sulfonic acid functionalized carbon catalyst, devoid of moisture sensitive metal catalysts and corrosive acidic reagents. The developed method has the advantages of good to excellent yields, short reaction times, operational simplicity, and a recyclable catalyst. The catalyst can be
