Dimethylformamide → 4-Chlorothieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of DMF (170.3 μL, 2.2 mmol) and dichloroethane (1.2 mL) at 0° C. under N2, oxalyl chloride (279.2 mg, 3.2 mmol) is added slowly and stirred for 10 min. 3H-thieno[3,2-d]pyrimid-4-one (152.2 mg, 1.0 mmol) is added and refluxed for 5 h. The reaction mixture is poured into water and extracted with CH2Cl2. The organic layer is stripped under reduced pressure to yield 4-chlorothieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine (140 mg, 82%) as a yellow solid. 1H NMR (DMSO) δ 9.05 (1H, s), 8.62 (1H, d, J=5 Hz), 7.79 (1H, d, J=5 Hz).
