In our studies on the catalytic activity of Group IVB transition metal Lewis acids, Hf(OTf)4 was identified as a highly potent catalyst for”one-pot, three-component” Biginelli reaction. More importantly, it was found that solvent-free conditions, in contrast to solvent-based conditions, could dramatically promote the Hf(OTf)4-catalyzed formation of 3,4-dihydro-pyrimidin-2-(1H)-ones. To provide a mechanistic explanation, we closely examined the catalytic effects of Hf(OTf)4 on all three potential reaction pathways in both “sequential bimolecular condensations” and “one-pot, three-component” manners. The experimental results showed that the synergistic effects of solvent-free conditions and Hf(OTf)4 catalysis not only drastically accelerate Biginelli reaction by enhancing the imine route and activating the enamine route but also avoid the formation of Knoevenagel adduct, which may lead to an undesired byproduct. In addition, 1H-MMR tracing of the H-D exchange reaction of methyl acetoacetate in MeOH-d4 indicated that Hf(IV) cation may significantly accelerate ketone-enol tautomerization and activate the β-ketone moiety, thereby contributing to the overall reaction rate.

Al-planted MCM-41s (Al-M41s) with regular mesoporous structure and Si/Al ratio of 23-32 were successfully prepared by the template-ion exchange method in which the template/Si molar ratio and Si/Al ratio were adjusted at 1.44 and 5-15, and showed much hig

Biginelli reactions were well catalyzed on mesoporous silica MCM-41 (M41) whose activity was much greater than that of amorphous silica. Octane was the most suitable among 6 kinds of solvents examined. The addition of metal ions on M41 enhanced the catalytic activity in the order Al > Ti > Fe = In. Al-planted M41s with Si/Al ratios of 45-35 showed the highest catalytic activity and could be used repeatedly though a small loss of the activity was observed. The catalysis could widely be applied to obtain various substituted dihydropyrimidinones (DHPMs) with high yields, some of which were very difficult to prepare until now. In addition, Biginelli reactions were combined with formyl C-H insertion reactions of diazoester on mesoporous silica; that is, a tandem one-pot four-component DHPM synthesis was attempted. Acetaldehyde, ethyl diazoacetate, p-tolualdehyde, and urea could be condensed and the corresponding DHPM derivative was obtained with 50% yield on Al-planted M41. The Royal Society of Chemistry.
