A versatile, convenient, efficient and high-yield synthetic method for 2-R(3),R(4)-amino-5-R(1)-6-R(2)-thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-ones, 2-R(3),R(4)-amino-5-R(1)-6-R(2)-thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-ones, and benzofuro[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-ones preparation has been developed. The reaction proceeded without using solvents and included several steps. A variety of thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine and thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine derivatives with substituents of different nature were obtained in high yields from substituted alkyl 2-(1H-tetrazol-1-yl)thiophene-3-carboxylates, 3-(1H-tetrazol-1-yl)thiophene-2-carboxylates, and 3-(1H-tetrazol-1-yl)benzofuran-2-carboxylate after their treatment with aliphatic amines.
