Reaction Steps

A 100-mL 3-necked round-bottom flask purged and maintained with an inert atmosphere of nitrogen was charged with commercially available 6-bromo-4-chlorothieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine (1.5 g, 6.01 mmol, 1.00 equiv), cyclopropylboronic acid (1.2 g, 13.97 mmol, 2.30 equiv), sodium carbonate (2.16 g, 20.38 mmol, 3.40 equiv), PPh3 (552 mg, 2.10 mmol, 0.35 equiv), Pd(OAc)2 (162 mg, 0.72 mmol, 0.12 equiv), water (7.5 mL) and methylbenzene (22.5 mL). The resulting solution was stirred overnight at 110° C. in an oil bath. The resulting solution was diluted with 50 mL of water. The resulting solution was extracted with 3×100 mL of dichloromethane and the organic layers combined. The resulting mixture was washed with 3×200 mL of brine. The mixture was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under vacuum. The residue was applied onto a silica gel column with ethyl acetate/petroleum ether (1:15-1:5). This resulted in 400 mg (32%) of 4-chloro-6-cyclopropylthieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine as a yellow solid.
