Application

1,3-Dimethyl-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2(1H)-pyrimidinone (DMPU) can be used as a:
  • Solvent in the synthesis of 1-aryl-3,4,5-substituted pyrazoles by cyclocondensation of 1,3-diketones with arylhydrazine hydrochlorides.
  • Chelating solvent in the trifluoromethylation of activated and non-activated halogenated double bonds.
  • Ligand in ortho-alkylation of secondary benzamide catalyzed by cobalt.

Other Notes

Aprotic, dipolar solvent, which is an excellent replacement of the carcinogenic HMPA as cosolvent for highly reactive nucleophiles and bases. High Z-selectivity in enolate formation; DMPU was shown to be non-mutagenic and safe.
