Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A suspension of 2-(chloromethyl)-5-phenyl-3H-thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-one (1.50 g, ex Enamine) in phosphorus oxychloride (23 mL) was heated to reflux (105° C.) overnight. The reaction was cooled and the solvent was evaporated. Toluene (30 mL) was added and the mixture was evaporated again. The residue was dissolved in dichloromethane (100 mL). It was washed with water (1×100 mL) and saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution (1×100 mL), dried (sodium sulfate), filtered and evaporated to give the target compound as a yellow solid (1.45 g). m/z [M+H]+ 294.8/296.8. Retention time 4.99 min (LCMS method+ve 6 min). It was used in the next step without further purification.
