Our novel binuclear complex-anchored Ru(III) catalyst, designed and assembled by sonicating 2,2'-(4,6-dihydroxy-1,3-phenylene)bis(1-benzo[]imidazole-4-carboxylic acid), Ru(DMSO)Cl and 4-methylpyridine, demonstrates remarkable efficiency and selectivity. It promotes one-pot reactions, including active methylenes and benzyl alcohols in water, via a tandem aerobic oxidation/Knoevenagel condensation process, yielding benzylidene malononitrile in excellent yields. The catalyst's ability to oxidize benzyl alcohols to aldehydes, which then undergo Knoevenagel condensation with active methylenes, makes it a multifunctional catalyst.

This research aims to develop a new synthetic method of poly fused pyrimidines under microwave irradiation. 6-Amino-4-aryl-2-thioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidine-5-carbonitriles reacted with bromomalono-nitrile to give 3,7-diamino-5-aryl-5H-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidine-2,6-dicarbonitrile more willingly than the isomeric 7H-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidines.
