Dimethylformamide → 2-Chloro-4-morpholinothieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine-6-carbaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 2-chloro-4-morpholin-4-yl-thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine 4 (1.75 g, 6.85 mmol) in dry THF (40 mL) at −78° C. was added a 2.5M solution of n-butyllithium (nBuLi) in hexane (3.3 mL, 1.2 eq.). After stirring for 1 h, dry DMF (796 μL, 1.5 eq.) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred for 1 h at −78° C. and then warmed slowly to room temperature. After a further 2 h at room temperature the reaction mixture poured onto ice/water yielding a yellow precipitate. This was collected by filtration and air-dried to yield 2-chloro-4-morpholin-4-yl-thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine-6-carbaldehyde 10 (1.50 g, 77%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, d6-DMSO) 3.76 (4H, t, J=4.9), 3.95 (4H, t, J=4.9), 8.28 (1H, s), 10.20 (1H, s).
