Efficient Synthesis of 2,3-Dihydro-1H-Perimidine Derivatives Using HBOB as a Novel Solid Acid Catalyst

Abstract

An efficient method for the synthesis of substituted 2,3-dihydro-1H-perimidine derivatives is described using bis(oxalato)boric acid (HBOB) as catalyst. The methodology provides an easily handled and recyclable catalyst for this type of reaction as an alternative platform to the conventional acid-catalyzed thermal processes. The time required to complete the reaction using HBOB was found to be shorter than conventional methods. Recycling of the catalyst has been efficiently achieved using a simple procedure.
