Bromine → 7-Bromothieno(3,2-d)pyrimidin-4-ol

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3H-thieno[3,2-d]pyrimid-4-one (82, 0.98 g, 6.4 mmol) in acetic acid (3.4 mL) was added a solution of bromine (1 mL) in acetic acid (3 mL). The reaction mixture was heated at reflux for 8 hours. The resulting suspension was allowed to cool to room temperature and then poured into a saturated aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate to neutralize. The solid product was collected by vacuum filtration to give 7-bromo-3H-thieno[3,2-d]pyrimid-4-one (0.94 g, 64% yield) as a pale yellow solid.
