Multicomponent reactions are considered to be of increasing importance as time progresses due to the economic and environmental advantages such strategies entail. The three-component Biginelli reaction involves the combination of an aldehyde, a β-ketoester and urea to produce 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1)-ones, also known as DHPMs. The synthesis of these products is highly important due to their myriad of medicinal properties, amongst them acting as calcium channel blockers and antihypertensive and anti-inflammatory agents. In this study, silicotungstic acid supported on Ambelyst-15 was used as a heterogeneous catalyst for the Biginelli reaction under solventless conditions. Electron-poor aromatic aldehydes gave the best results. Sterically hindered β-ketoesters resulted in lower reaction yields. The reaction was carried out under heterogeneous catalysis to allow easy recovery of the product from the reaction mixture and recycling of the catalyst. The heterogeneity of the reaction was confirmed by carrying out a hot filtration test.

3,4-Dihydropyrimidin-2(1)-ones (DHPMs) and 1,4-dihydropyridines (DHPs), prepared by applying the Biginelli and Hantzsch reaction protocols, respectively, are well-documented nitrogen-containing heterocycles with intriguing pharmacological properties. The aqueous solution of biogenic carboxylic acids renewably produced from biomass catalytic or enzymatic processes can be used as a sustainable catalyst and green reaction media for synthesizing DHPs and DHPMs. This work evaluates the efficacy of various biogenic acids in their aqueous solutions as catalysts for synthesizing DHPs and DHPMs from substituted benzaldehydes.

Article Synopsis
- - A series of dihydropyrimidine compounds were created as inhibitors of tyrosine kinases through a one-pot Biginelli reaction, yielding a variety of 1,4-DHPM hybrids by alkylating with different chloroacetylamine derivatives.
- - These synthesized compounds were tested for their ability to inhibit cancer cell growth in different cell lines (HCT-116, PC-3, MCF-7) and showed that compounds 8h and 8i were the most effective, with low concentrations needed to inhibit cancer cells while being more selective towards normal cells.
- - Further analysis revealed that compound 8h was particularly potent in inhibiting key kinases (EGFR and Trk

The paper describes the construction of a new series of pyrimidinone-linked thiazole derivatives through bromination of the initial Biginelli reaction product followed by the Hantzsch thiazole synthesis route. Various analytical techniques, including FT-IR, H NMR, C NMR, and LCMS analysis, were employed to confirm the formation of the products. The synthesized compounds were primarily evaluated for their antibacterial activity, with a specific focus on their IC values.

The aim of the presented research was to explore anticancer potential of eleven newly synthesized tetrahydropyrimidine derivatives. The compounds were synthesized via Biginelli multicomponent one-pot reaction using different derivatives of vanillin, ethyl 4-chloroacetoacetate and (N-methyl)urea. The cytotoxic effects of the compounds were examined on three human malignant cell lines (HeLa, K562, and MCF7), and normal lung fibroblasts MRC-5.
