Different Lewis acids were screened to catalyze the reaction of 2-amino-thiophene-3-carboxylate, orthoformate and aryl amine to form 2-substituted thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one. Zn(OAc)₂ was demonstrated to efficiently catalyze the reaction. 20 substituted thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidines were synthesized by adding 0.5% mol Zn(OAc)₂ as catalyst under microwave irradiation.
