Abstract
A catalytic, practical, efficient procedure for the synthesis of 5-benzylidene-1,3-dimethylpyrimidine-2,4,6(1H,3H,5H)-trione and pyrano[2,3-d] pyrimidine diones at room temperature was developed using L-Proline nitrate ionic liquid under ultrasonic irradiation. The L-Proline nitrate is homogeneous and green catalyst easy to prepare by mixing L-Proline and nitric acid possess excellent catalytic activity under standard ultrasonic bath at room temperature for the synthesis of pyrimidine core. This adequate procedure offers some advantages like the use of green solvent H2O, environmentally green benign procedure, excellent yields, simple procedure, short reaction times, no need for column chromatographic separation and reusability of catalyst for five subsequent reaction.
