Abstract

A Pd-catalyzed/Cu-mediated oxidative dehydrosulfurative carbon-oxygen cross-coupling reaction of 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-1H-2-thiones (DHPMs) with aryl alcohols is described. Due to the ready availability of diverse DHPMs and aryl alcohols, the reaction method offers facile access to biologically and pharmacologically valuable 2-aryloxypyrimidine derivatives with rapid diversification.
