The carbodiimides 4 , obtained from reactions of iminophosphorane 3 with aromatic isocyanates, were reacted with secondary amines to give 2‐dialkylamino‐5‐ethyl‐6‐methyl‐thieno[2,3‐d]pyrimidin‐4(3H)‐ones 6 in the presence of catalytic amount of EtONa. Reactions of 4 with phenols or ROH in the presence of the catalytic amount of K2CO₃ or RONa gave 2‐aryloxy‐ or 2‐alkoxy‐5‐ethyl‐6‐methyl‐thieno[2,3‐d]pyrimidin‐4(3H)‐ones 6 in satisfactory yields. The effects of the nucleophiles on cyclization have been investigated. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

1‐Methyl‐3‐propyl‐1H‐pyrazole‐5‐carboxylic acid ( 3 ) was exclusively brominated at the 4‐position by bromine in the dark. Brominated product 8 was then converted into 1‐methyl‐3‐propyl‐1H‐pyrazole‐5‐car‐boxamide 9 by successive treatment with thionyl chloride and ammonium hydroxide.
