The one-pot three-component reactions of 1,3-dimethylbarbituric acid, aromatic aldehydes and alkyl or aryl isocyanides proceed smoothly at room temperature to give the corresponding 5-aryl-6-alkyl or arylamino-1,3dimethylfuro[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H )-dione derivatives in good to excellent yields within 30 minutes in DMF. This three-component reaction represents a facile and efficient route to the described biologically interesting molecules.
