First example of the synthesis of di(fluoroalkyl)-substituted pyrimidines

4,5-Bis(hydroxy)-4-trifluoromethyl-6-(fluoroalkyl)hexahydropyrimidin-2-ones (thiones) have been obtained for the first time by the reaction of ureas (thioureas) with di(fluoroalkyl)-substituted 1,3-diketones and tetraols, the dehydration of which gave 2-hydroxy(mercapto)-4-trifluoromethyl-6-(fluoroalkyl)pyrimidines.
