“…Thus, the Biginelli reaction has received renewed interest from researchers interested in discovering milder and more efficient procedures that are applicable to a wide range of substituents in all three components and proceed in better yields. So, the one-pot-Biginelli protocol for 3,4-dihydropyrimidines synthesis was explored by varying all components and catalysts [10–18] in protic, aprotic solvents, and solvent free conditions [19] using either classical heating, microwave [20, 21], ultrasound [22, 23], and visible light (100 W Lamp, THF) irradiations [24]. Also several improved procedures have been reported recently using not only acidic media such as Lewis acids, protic acids, and ionic liquids as promoters [25, 26] but also nonacidic substances such as baker's yeast [27], graphite [28], and iodine [29, 30].…”
