Reaction Steps

4-(2-chloro-7-vinylthieno[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4-yl)morpholine (170 mg, 0.6 mmol) was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (10 mL, 100 mmol) and cooled to 0° C. under an atmosphere of nitrogen. 0.5 M 9-BBN in hexanes (3.4 mL, 2 mmol) was added and the reaction was allowed to warm up to room temperature and stir overnight. LCMS indicated mostly starting material so the reaction was cooled to 0° C. again and added 0.5 M 9-BBN in hexanes (8.0 mL, 4 mmol) and allowed to warm up to room temperature and stir overnight again. Added 20 M hydrogen peroxide (1.4 mL, 20 mmol) followed by 5 M sodium hydroxide in water (2.4 mL, 10 mmol). The reaction was diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate, dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo and was purified by silica gel chromatography (0 to 50% ethyl acetate/heptanes) on the CombiFlash® Rf system and concentrated in vacuo to give 2-(2-chloro-4-morpholinothieno[3,2-d]pyrimidin-7-yl)ethanol (110 mg, 61% yield)
