## Abstract A clean and efficient tandem oxidative cyclocondensation process is reported for the synthesis of 3,4‐dihydropyrimidin‐2(1__H__)‐one or ‐thione derivatives from primary aryl alcohols, __β__‐keto esters, and urea or thiourea in the presence of Al(NO~3~)~3~⋅9 H~2~O as oxidant catalyst (__
