Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-(2-methoxyphenyl)thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one (0.80 g, 3.1 mmol), POCl3 (0.28 mL, 3.1 mmol), and N,N-dimethylaniline (1.6 mL, 4.7 mmol) in benzene (3.5 mL) was heated at 80° C. for 2 h. An additional portion of POCl3 (0.28 mL, 3.1 mmol) was added, and the reaction was heated at 80° C. for 16 h. The reaction was cooled, and saturated aqueous NaHCO3 was slowly added. The organic layer was separated, washed with water, dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated under vacuum to give 4-chloro-2-(2-methoxyphenyl)thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine (0.61 g, 71% yield). LC/MS: m/z 277.1 (M+H)+ at 2.98 min (10%-99% CH3CN (0.035% TFA)/H2O (0.05% TFA)).
