One-pot synthesis of pyrimidines under solvent-free conditions

N,N,N’,N’-Tetrabromobenzene-1,3-disulfonamide was used as an efficient catalyst for the one-pot synthesis of pyrimidine derivatives in excellent yields from triethoxymethane, ammonium acetate, and various ketone derivatives at 100–110 °C under solvent-free conditions.
