Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 118023920, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of ethyl 6-cyclohexyl-2-methylthieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine-4-carboxylate (29.3 g), calcium chloride (18 g), and THF (200 mL) was added NaBH4 (5.5 g) in small divided portions at room temperature, and then EtOH (200 mL) was slowly added thereto over 5 minutes, followed by stirring at room temperature for 4 hours. To the reaction mixture was added ice water, followed by stirring, adding 1 M hydrochloric acid until the suspension becomes a solution state, and then extracting with EtOAc. The organic layer was washed sequentially with water, saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate, and brine. To the organic layer were added MgSO4, activated carbon, and basic silica gel, followed by stirring. The mixture was filtered through Celite and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column (chloroform/EtOAc) to obtain (6-cyclohexyl-2-methylthieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-yl)methanol (12.7 g).
