A facile three-component solid phase synthesis of steroidal A-ring fused pyrimidines under microwave irradiation

The preparation of ring-A fused pyrimidines at the steroidal 2,3-position is herein described. The novel steroidal pyrimidines were prepared from the solid phase three-component reaction of 2-hydroxymethylene-3-keto steroids, arylaldehydes and ammonium acetate under microwave irradiation.
