14. Contrary to our findings, C4 unsubstituted dihydropyrimidinones lacking a C5 ester substituent have shown variation in reactivity depending upon the reagent used. Whereas only MeLi could be added at C-4, RMgX invariably reacted at C-6, see:. Kashima C., Katoh A., Yokota Y., and Omote Y. J. Chem. Soc., Perkin Trans. 1 (1981) 489-492

16. To a solution of diisopropylamine (0.58 mL, 0.42 g, 4.42 mmol) in THF (2 mL), n-BuLi (1.85 mL, 2.2 M) was added dropwise at -78 °C, under a nitrogen atmosphere. The solution was allowed to warm to 0 °C and stirred for an additional 10 min. The solution was cooled to -78 °C and pre-cooled THF (25 mL at -78 °C) was added with stirring. The appropriate carbon acid, for example, acetone, acetonitrile, acetophenone (4.42 mmol), was then introduced via a glass syringe. The solution was stirred for an additional 10 min at the same temperature before use.
