A green and efficient method for the synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones and -thiones through one-pot three-component reaction of ethyl acetoacetate, an aryl aldehyde, and urea or thiourea in acetonitrile using silica gel-supported polyphosphoric acid (PPA-$SiO_2$) as catalyst is described. Compared to the classical Biginelli reaction conditions, the present methodology offers several advantages such as high yields, relatively short reaction times, mild reaction condition and a recyclable catalyst with a very easy work up.

A simple and efficient synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrimidinones or thiones is described, using silica-supported perchloric acid ($HClO_4-SiO_2$) as a heterogeneous catalyst from an aldehyde, $\beta$-dicarbonyl compound, and urea or thiourea under solvent-free conditions. Compared to the classical Biginelli reactions, this method consistently has the advantage of high yields, short reaction time, easy separation, and tolerance towards various functional groups.
