Tetrabutylammonium Fluoride → 7-Ethynyl-4-(methylthio)thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

4-(Methylthio)-7-((trimethylsilyl)ethynyl)thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine (500 mg, 1.8 mmol) was dissolved in THF (5 mL) at 1.0M and then tetrabutylammonium fluoride solution (3.6 mL, 3.6 mmol) was added thereto. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes and then concentrated. The resulting mixture was purified by silica gel chromatography (ethyl acetate/hexane=2:8˜3:7) to obtain the title compound (340 mg, 91% yield) as a yellowish solid.
