Аннотация: A new type of chemical one-pot tandem Knoevenagel–Michael reaction followed by the NBS-induced cyclization was discovered. The reaction of aromatic aldehydes with two molecules of N,N'-dimethylbarbituric acid in the presence of NBS in water at ambient temperature affords spirotricyclic furopyrimidine scaffold, namely, 1,5-dihydro-2H,2'H-spiro[furo[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6,5'-pyrimidine]-2,2',4,4',6'-(1'H,3H,3'H)-pentones, in 90–98% yields.

Ключевые слова: cascade reactions, tandem Knoevenagel–Michael reaction, benzaldehydes, barbituric acids, N-bromosuccinimide, oxidative cyclization, spirotricyclic compounds, furo[2,3-d]pyrimidines.
