An enantioselective Biginelli reaction that proceeds by a dual-activation route has been developed by using a combined catalyst of a readily available trans-4-hydroxyproline-derived secondary amine and a Brønsted acid. Aromatic, heteroaromatic, and fused-ring aldehydes were found to be suitable substrates

A novel approach to the synthesis of purines bearing functionalized carbon substituents or methyl in position 6 was developed. Under different reaction conditions, 6-halopurine derivatives could react with ethyl acetoacetate efficiently to yield 2-(purin-6-yl)acetoacetic acid ethyl esters, (purin-6-yl)acetates and 6-methylpurines
