Abstract

A simple and efficient aerobic oxidative dehydrogenation reaction method for the conversion of 2-(alkylthio)-1,4-dihydropyrimidines to 2-(alkylthio)pyrimidines using copper catalyst with no additives, such as an oxidant, acid, or base, has been developed. The reaction was successful with a wide range of 2-(alkylthio)-1,4-dihydropyrimidine substrates.
