Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6-chloropyrido[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4(1H)-one (150 mg, 0.83 mmol) in POCl3 (2.0 mL) was added DIPEA (0.22 mL, 1.24 mmol) at room temperature. After stirring for 1 hour at 110° C., the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo, and then diluted with water and extracted with dichlormethane. The combined organic layers were washed brine, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography on SiO2 (Hex:EtOAc=10:1) to give 4,6-dichloropyrido[3,2-d]pyrimidine (120 mg, 73%) as a yellow solid. 1H-NMR (CDCl3, Varian 400 MHz) δ 7.87 (1H, d, J=8.8 Hz), 8.35 (1H, d, J=8.8 Hz), 9.14 (1H, s).
