Procedure

A solution of 6-(3-thienyl)-3H-thieno[3,2-d]pyrimid-4-one (218, 74 mg, 0.32 mmol) in phosphorus oxychloride (2 mL) under N2 was heated at reflux for 1 hour. The resulting solution was allowed to cool to room temperature, poured into a saturated aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate to neutralize and then extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water followed by saturated aqueous sodium chloride, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and the solvent evaporated under reduced pressure to yield 6-(3-thienyl)-4-chlorothieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine (65 mg, 81% yield) as a yellow solid.
