Reaction Steps

To a solution of a mixture of 5-ethyl-5,7-dihydrothieno[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-ol and 6-ethyl-6,7-dihydrothieno[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4-ol (2.32 g, 12.8 mmol) in 1,2-dichloroethane (50 mL) and diisopropylethylamine (4 mL) was added POCl3 (4 mL), and the mixture was refluxed overnight. The solvent was removed and the residue was purified by silica gel chromatography, eluting with Hexane/ethyl acetate (9:1-4:1) to give 4-chloro-5-ethyl-5,7-dihydrothieno[3,4-d]pyrimidine (0.49 g, 28%). 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz) δ 8.73 (s, 1H), 4.44 (m, 1H), 4.32-4.00 (m, 2H), 2.08 (m, 1H), 1.75 (m, 1H), 0.93 (m, 3H).
