• ], we have investigated a new, simple and efficient synthesis of novel fused pyrimidines based on inverse electron-demand Diels-Alder reaction using ethyl vinyl ether/dihydrofuran and α,β-ethylenic ketones formed in situ as heterodienes in presence of 1 mol% of indium(III) trichloride (Scheme 1).
