25 Dihydropyrimidine derivatives, a new class of organo-hydrides, were designed and synthesized by the Biginelli reaction. For the first time, the thermodynamic driving forces of the six elemental steps to obtain a hydride in acetonitrile were determined by isothermal titration and electrochemical methods, respectively. The effects of molecular structures and substituents on these thermodynamic parameters were examined, uncovering some interesting structure-reactivity relationships. Both the thermodynamic and kinetic studies show that the hydride transfer from dihydropyrimidines to 9-phenylxanthylium (PhXn+ClO4-) prefers a concerted mechanism.
