Ethyl bromoacetate → HCID 12944784, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 6.0 g of 2-chloro-5,6-dimethyl-3,4-dihydrothieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine, 5.52 g of ethyl bromoacetate and 12.5 g of powdered potassium carbonate in 300 ml of methyl ethyl ketone was heat-refluxed with stirring under a nitrogen atmosphere for 4 hours. After cooling, an insoluble inorganic salt was filtered off and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to give a crude oil of 2-chloro-3-ethoxycarbonylmethyl-5,6-dimethyl-3,4-dihydrothieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine. Because of the instability of the resulting compound, the crude oil was used in the subsequent reaction.
