  ABSTRACT: Various 3,4-dihydropyrimidinones can be prepared via Biginelli reaction in aqueous media by using quaternary ammonium salts of different alkyl groups (C4 and C8) and anions (Cl-and Br-) as catalysts. The use of quaternary ammonium salts along with longer alkyl chains increases the yield of the Biginelli reaction; however, bromide ammonium salts are less active than the chloride ones.
