Isopropanol → 2-Chloro-7-phenylthieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 7-bromo-2-chlorothieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine (1.0 g, 4.0 mmol), phenyl boronic acid (0.6 g, 4.9 mmol), Pd[PPh3]4 (0.47 g, 0.4 mmol) and aqueous sodium carbonate (2M, 4.5 mL, 9.0 mmol) in toluene (25 mL)/isopropanol (8 mL) was heated under reflux overnight. The mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature, was diluted with ethyl acetate then washed with 10% aqueous sodium bicarbonate, dried (Na2SO4) filtered and concentrated. The resultant solid was sonicated in diethyl ether (2×70 mL) and the combined ether washes were evaporated to afford the crude product (1.4 g), still containing starting material and OPPh3.
