Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of pyrrolidine (2.2 mL), potassium carbonate (2.5 g), sodium iodide (134 mg) and N,N-dimethylformamide (40 mL) was added 6-bromo-2-(chloromethyl)thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one (2.5 g), and the mixture was stirred at 70° C. for 30 min. Insoluble material was removed by filtration, the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was washed with a small amount of ethyl acetate to give the title compound (1.5 g) as a pale-yellow solid. The filtrate was purified by basic silica gel column chromatography (methanol/ethyl acetate) to give the title compound (0.87 g) as a pale-yellow solid. The total yield of the title compound was 2.37 g.
