An efficient and highly selective multicomponent synthesis of 4-aminoimidazo[1,2-a][1,3,5]triazines, which are 5-aza-7-deaza-isosteres of adenine, was developed. The reaction of 2-aminoimidazoles, triethyl orthoformate and cyanamide under microwave irradiation proceeded regioselectively to provide...
