Procedure for the synthesis of 12 and 13
Conc. HCl (3 mL) was added to the solution of pyrim-
idinone 5 or 6 (200 µg) in dioxane (10 mL). The reaction
mixture was stirred for 1 day, and then it was evaporated in
a Petri dish to dryness and crystallized from 2-propanol.

Crystal structure determinations
X-Ray analyses were carried out on an Oxford Diffraction
Xcalibur S CCD diffractometer using the software package
CRYSALISPRO [13]. X-Ray data collection was carried out
at 295(2) K with graphite-monochromatized MoKα radiation

(λ = 0.71073 A). The structures were solved with Direct
Methods using SHELXS-97 [14] and refined by full-matrix
least-squares procedures on F2 with SHELXL-97 [15]. Non-
H atoms were refined anisotropically, hydrogen atoms were
placed in idealized positions and were constrained to ride on
their parent atoms. Due to the absence of heavy atoms in the
non-centrosymmetric crystal structures of 7 and 15, Friedel
pairs were merged, and Flack parameters were not refined.
Table 1 summarizes the crystal data and numbers pertinent
to data collection and structure refinement.
Procedure for the synthesis of compounds 15 and 16
2-Phenylmalonaldehyde (1.0 g, 6.75 mmol) and N-
carbamoyl L-valine (1.62 g, 10.12 mmol) were mixed with
toluene (60 mL). The mixture was refluxed with a Dean-Stark
trap. Then it was cooled to 40 ◦C, the toluene solution was
decanted, and the resin residue was crystallized from ethanol.
