The research aimed to explore the reaction of guanidine carbonate with various ortho-fluorobenzaldehydes as a potential route for preparing 2-aminoquinazolines. The study successfully synthesized eleven new 2-aminoquinazolines in low to moderate yields, with the best results obtained when ortho-fluorobenzaldehydes had an electron-withdrawing substituent at the other ortho position. The researchers encountered complex mixtures with certain substrates, such as 2-fluorobenzaldehyde, 2,5-difluorobenzaldehyde, and 2-fluoro-5-methoxybenzaldehyde, which were not resolved. Key chemicals used in the process included guanidine carbonate, N,N-dimethylacetamide as the solvent, and various ortho-fluorobenzaldehydes with different substituents. The conclusions highlighted the effectiveness of the method in synthesizing 2-aminoquinazolines, especially when electron-withdrawing groups were present, and the limitations when dealing with certain substrates that led to unresolved complex mixtures.

The research aims to develop efficient one-pot synthesis methods for 2-aminopyrimidinones and their piperidinium salts, which are significant due to their biological activities and potential applications in nanotechnology and crystal engineering. The study introduces a three-component reaction involving benzaldehyde derivatives, methyl cyanoacetate, and guanidinium carbonate to produce 2-amino-4-aryl-1,6-dihydro-6-oxopyrimidine-5-carbonitriles. Additionally, a four-component reaction with benzaldehyde derivatives, methyl cyanoacetate, guanidinium hydrochloride, and piperidine yields piperidinium salts of pyrimidinones. The synthesized compounds were characterized using NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and X-ray crystallography, confirming their structures and self-assembly through H-bonding. The research concludes that these one-pot methods offer high bond-forming efficiency, atom economy, and the use of simple, readily available starting materials, making them advantageous for the synthesis of these compounds.
