• effect, which generalizes cyclization of certain derivatives of 3-methyl-1-phenyl-2-pyrazolin-5-ones. Using this strategy a variety of fused heterocycles is obtained by the Knoevenagel condensation of 5-tert-amino-3-methyl-1-phenylpyrazolone-4-carboxal-dehyde 3 with active methylene compounds such as

• Knoevenagel condensation reactions with malonodinitrile to give the corresponding pyrazolin-5-ylmethylenemalonodinitriles 4a, which in turn cyclized in the presence of anhydrous zinc chloride to get the corresponding pyrazolinoquinolizines 6a and 1,4-oxazinopyrazolines 6e in refluxing toluene (Scheme 1). The

• respectively for diastereomer A. The configuration of diastereomer A may therefore be assigned as trans and cis for the diasteromer B. The formation of these heterocycles 5 can be rationalized by initial formation of a conjugated electron-deficient heterodiene by standard Knoevenagel condensation of the

• [2,3-d]pyrimidine 7 in excellent yields. Knoevenagel condensation of the aromatic aldehyde with 1,3-dimethylbarbuturic acid occurs first with the formation of an electron-deficient, sterically fixed 1-oxo-1,3-butadiene 3 which then reacts with 2,3-dihydrofuran in a Diels-Alder reaction with inverse

• comparable yields. The structure of all the products thus obtained were characterized by elemental and spectral analyses. Conclusion In conclusion, we have shown that the multicomponent domino Knoevenagel condensation/hetero-Diels-Alder reaction of aromatic aldehydes with 1,3-dimethylbarbituric acid and
