Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Methyl-10-oxo-10H-pyrido[1,2-a]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine-7-carboxamide (Example 44), 0.6 g (0.0023 mol), in 10 ml of pyridine, 25 ml of phosphorus oxychloride and 25 ml of chloroform is refluxed on a steam bath for three hours. The solvents are evaporated in vacuo and the residue is treated with 100 ml of ice water. The resulting precipitate is filtered to give 0.5 g of 2-methyl-10-oxo-10H-pyrido[1,2-a]thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine-7-carbonitrile; mp 258°-259° C. after recrystallization from methanol.
