Nortropine → Methyl 4-(3-hydroxy-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octan-8-yl)-5-phenyl-thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of methyl 4-chloro-5-phenyl-thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6-carboxylate (3.231 g, 10.59 mmol) and DIPEA (2.39 mL, 15.89 mmol) in THF (60 mL) at room temperature was added nortropine (1.682 g, 15.89 mmol) and the reaction left to stir overnight. The reaction was diluted with water (60 mL) and the layers separated. The aqueous layer was acidified to pH 3 and extracted repeatedly with 3:1 chloroform/IPA. The combined organic layers were dried over sodium sulphate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford methyl 4-(3-hydroxy-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octan-8-yl)-5-phenyl-thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6-carboxylate (1.839 g, 44%). LCMS: Rt=4.23, 396 (M+1).
