AbstractA novel version of the Biginelli reaction using an unprotected aldose as a biorenewable aldehyde component and 2methyl-2-phenyl-1,3-oxathiolan-5-one as a mercaptoacetylating active methylene building block with urea/thiourea is reported.
The reaction is nanoclay-catalysed, expeditious and eected under solvent-free microwave irradiation conditions in a one-pot procedure to yield diastereoselectively, thiosugar-annulated multifunctionalized dihydropyrimidines via intramolecular domino cyclocondensation reactions of an isolable intermediate.

residues with free hydroxyl groups in the Biginelli products should increase the water solubility and bioavailability, other interesting biological properties may
arise from the thiosugar-annulated DHPM system because thiosugars are potential targets for various carbohydrate-based therapeutics.21 An additional reason for
which we have been spurred to use aldoses in the Biginelli reaction stems from the desire to achieve a degree
of internal asymmetric induction and thus obtain diastereomerically pure sugar-annulated DHPMs as the biological activity of DHPMs is strictly dependent on the
absolute conguration at the C-4 stereocentre.15,22 The
present work is an outcome of our interest in devising
new one-pot, solvent-free cyclization procedures,18,2326
especially involving stereocontrolled protocols.18,25

The strategy followed for the envisaged diastereoselective synthesis of thiosugar-annulated multifunctionalized dihydropyrimidines 4 and 5 consisted in
microwave (MW) irradiation of an intimate solvent-free
mixture of 2-methyl-2-phenyl-1,3-oxathiolan-5-one 1
with aldose 2, urea/thiourea 3 and the nanoclay, Montmorillonite K-10 (particle size 32.7 nm), at 90 C for 9
13 min in a CEM Discover Focussed Microwave Synthesis System (Scheme 1). Isolation and purication by
recrystallisation from ethanol aorded 4 and 5 in 76
89% yields with >95% diastereoselectivity (Table 1) in
favour of the cis isomer as determined by 1H NMR
spectroscopy.27 In the cis isomers 4 and 5, 4a-H is equatorial and 8a-H is axial as indicated by their coupling
constants (J4a,8a = 4.9 Hz, Jcis and J8,8a = 7.1 Hz, Jtrans).
The crude isolates were checked by 1H NMR for their
diastereomeric ratios to note any inadvertent alteration
of these ratios during subsequent purication. It was
found that the use of other mineral catalysts, viz. silica
gel, neutral or basic alumina, was far less eective,
resulting in either no reaction (in the case of basic alumina) or relatively low yields (2137%) of 4 and 5 (in
the case of silica gel and neutral alumina). The formation of 4 and 5 may be tentatively rationalized by the
conjugate addition of urea/thiourea 3 to adduct 6 generated in situ to aord intermediates, which undergo intramolecular domino cyclocondensation reactions to yield
4 and 5 (Scheme 2).
