Water → 7-Bromo-4-chlorothieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Dimethylformamide (25.8 mL, 0.33 mol) and dichloromethane (150 mL) were added to a reactor. Oxalyl chloride (46.4 mL, 0.53 mol) diluted with dichloromethane (150 mL) at room temperature was added to the reactor for about 30 minutes. 7-bromothieno[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one (35 g, 0.15 mol) was added thereto, and then, the reaction solution was heated to reflux for 3 hours. The temperature of the reaction solution was lowered and water was carefully added thereto. The organic layer was separated, and the aqueous layer was subjected to extraction using dichloromethane. The extracted organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The dried organic layer was filtered and distilled under reduced pressure, and dried with nitrogen gas to obtain the title compound (30.5 g, 85%).
