Hydrochloric Acid → 2-chloro-6-methylthieno[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2,4-dichloro-6-methylthieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine (450 mg, 2.05 mmol), aqueous NaOH (1N, 4 mL) and THF (4 mL) was stirred at room temperature under N2. The reaction was monitored by HPLC until the reaction was completed. Then the mixture was neutralized to PH 5 by addition of 2N aqueous HCl. The solid was filtrated and dried to give 380 mg of 2-chloro-6-methylthieno[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one (yield was 92%) as a yellow solid. MS obsd. (ESI+) [(M+H)+]: 201.
