Reaktionsschritte

5-Bromo-1-isobutyl-3-methyl-6-[2-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl]thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione (3.6 g, Example 1c)) was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (150 ml) at room temperature under an atmosphere of nitrogen. To this solution was added isobutyl magnesium bromide (4.9 mls, 2M in tetrahydrofuran). After 30 mins carbon dioxide gas was passed through the reaction and stirred for 2 hrs. The reaction mixture was then concentrated in vacuo and redissolved in ethanol (100 ml). Concentrated HCl (1 ml) was added and the reaction was heated at reflux for 36 hrs. The reaction was then concentrated in vacuo and partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The organic layer was collected, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and evaporated to dryness in vacuo. The resultant gum was purified via chromotography eluting with 3:2 isohexane/diethyl ether to yield the sub title compound as a brown oil (2.3 g)
