Abstract
A general method is described for the synthesis of 1‐aryl‐2‐alkyl‐1,4,5,6‐tetrahydropyrimidines 1, by cyclization of N‐acyl‐N′‐aryltrimethylenediamines 2 with trimethylsilyl polyphosphate. Precursors 2 were obtained by aminolysis of the corresponding N‐(3‐bromopropyl)amides 3. The ^1^H nmr spectra of tetrahydropyrimidines 1 are analyzed, discussing the influence of substituents in positions 1 and 2 of the heterocyclic ring. Alkaline hydrolysis of compounds 1, which originates exclusively N‐acyl‐N′‐aryltrimethylenediamines 2, through an intermediate carbinolamine, was also studied. Cleavage of such an intermediate is discussed in the light of the stereoelectronic control theory. Reduction of compounds 1 with borane, leads regiospecifically to N‐alkyl‐N′‐aryltrimethylenediamines 6.

## Abstract 1‐(Aralkyl/aryl)‐3‐(alkyyaralkyl)‐5‐aroyl‐1,2,3,4‐tetrahydropyrimidines (**2a‐c**) have been synthesized by dethiomethylation of 5‐aroyl‐6‐methylthio‐1,2,3,4‐tetrahydropyrimidines (**1a‐c**). An alternative one‐pot synthetic strategy has been developed for the title compounds **2a‐t** b
Fragmentation pathways of the title compounds under electron impact were compared to those of their (1aryl)substituted analogs reported earlier. The main fragmentation route of the M Á ions is the sulphamide N-S bond cleavage leading to [M À ArSO 2 ] ions. No loss of the alkyl substituents from the
