Popis: The reaction of an N-monosubstituted amidine with a β-ketoester to afford a pyrimidinone is sluggish at best under normal conditions. We now report that this reaction can be effected in moderate yield under high pressure. Thus, 2,6-dichloro-4-pyridyl-(N-prop-2-ynyl)carboxamidine (4b) was reacted with three α-substituted-β-ketoesters (2b-d) at 10–16 kbar to afford herbicidal 2-(2,6-dichloro-4-pyridyl)-3-(prop-2-ynyl)-4(3H)-pyrimidinones 5b and 5c in 15 - 43% yield. This result expands the scope of reactions promoted by application of high pressure.
