Carbon tetrabromide → 4-(6-(Bromomethyl)-2-chlorothieno[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4-yl)morpholine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (2-chloro-4-morpholin-4-yl-thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidin-6-yl)-methanol (1.46 g, 5.11 mmol) in anhydrous DCM (30 mL) at 0° C. were added triphenylphosphine (1.74 g, 6.64 mmol) and carbon tetrabromide (2.03 g, 6.13 mmol). The resulting brown solution was stirred at RT for 5 h, before additional quantities of triphenylphosphine and carbon tetrabromide were added (0.4 g and 0.34 g, respectively) and stirring continued at RT for 1 h. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo and DCM and EtOAc were added. The resultant white precipitate was collected by filtration and air dried to give the title compound as a white solid (0.82 g, 46%).
