A fast and high yielding one-pot synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones from β-keto esters, urea and various aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes using montmorillonite KSF clay as a catalyst in solvent-free condition under microwave irradiation is described. The catalyst can also be recycled in these syntheses.
