Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-chloro-5-(4-fluorophenyl)thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine (1 g, 4.06 mmol) in acetic acid (15 mL), N-chlorosuccinimide (1.08 g, 8.1 m. mol) was added and the mixture was stirred at 90° C. for 2 h. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure and the residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate (30 mL) and washed with sat. NaHCO3 solution (3×20 mL). The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated. The crude product was purified by column chromatography to get the title product (200 mg, 16%) as pale yellow solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3 and CDCl3): δ 8.85 (s, 1H), 7.35 (m, 2H), 7.20 (m, 2H). MS (ESI) m/z: Calculated: 297.95; Observed: 299.2 (M++1).
