Abstract
Iodine was explored as an efficient catalyst for the synthesis of tetrahydropyrimidines 4 and pyrrolidines 5 by a multicomponent reaction of dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates (=dialkyl butβ2βynedioates) 1, amines 2, and HCHO 3 at room temperature (Scheme). When the molar ratios of these substrates were 1β:β2β:β4 and 1β:β1β:β4, tetrahydropyrimidines and pyrrolidines were formed, respectively. The products were obtained in high yields (73β85%) within a short period of time (25β35β min).

The zwitterion, formed from the reaction of an alkyl isocyanide and a dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylate, reacts with phenacyl halides in H 2 O to produce g-iminolactone derivatives in high yields. H 2 O helps to avoid the use of highly toxic and environmentally unfavorable solvents for this conversion.
