Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 2-(ethylthio)-6,7-dihydrothieno[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one (2.80 g, 13.06 mmol) in water (2.0 mL) was added 2.0 mL of conc. HCl and 4.0 mL of AcOH. The mixture was heated at 110° C. overnight. The reaction was cooled and the solid that formed collected by filtration washed with water and methanol, and dried to afford a white solid, 6,7-dihydrothieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione, (1.80 g, 82%). Without further purification, the crude product was used directly to the next step.
