Reaction Steps

2-(1-Methylethyl)-4-oxo-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine-7-carboxamide (Example 15), 8.7 g (0.0303 mol), in 250 ml of phosphorus oxychloride and 250 ml of chloroform is refluxed on a steam bath for four hours under nitrogen. The chloroform and excess phosphorus oxychloride are evaporated in vacuo and the residue is treated with 2 L of ice water. The resulting precipitate is filtered to give 5.3 g of 2-(1-methylethyl)-4-oxo-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine-7-carbonitrile; mp 225°-226° C. after recrystallization from pyridine.
