The now semi-fluid mixture was cooled to 75-80° C. before water (800 ml) was added. After stirring at room temperature for 2 h the formed precipitate was filtered off, washed with further water and dried at 40° C. i. vac. Thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine-2,4-diol was obtained as cream-coloured powder (37.15 g, 87% yield) of >95% purity.
