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

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of DMF (90 μL) and CH2Cl2 (2 mL) at 0° C. under N2, oxalyl chloride (148 mg, 1.2 mmol) is added slowly and stirred for 10 min. 3H-Thieno[2,3-d]pyrimid-4-one (81 mg, 0.52 mmol) is added as a solid to the solution and warmed with a heat gun until the solid dissolves. The reaction is stirred at 25° C. for 12 h under N2. The reaction mixture is poured into water and extracted with CH2Cl2 . The phases are separated and the organic layer is dried (Na2SO4) and stripped under reduced pressure to yield 4-chlorothieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine (87.6 mg, 97%) as a solid. 1H NMR (DMSO) δ 8.96 (1H, s), 8.17 (1H, d, J=6.0 Hz), 7.62 (1H, d, J=6.0 Hz).
