A selective and efficient method for the synthesis of unusual thieno[2,3-d] pyrimidines incorporating two thiophene rings via thermal reactions of 1-(thiophene-2-yl)-1H-tetrazoles is reported. Microwave-assisted thermolysis of 1-(thiophene-2-yl)-1H-tetrazoles at 160 8 degrees C in a water/toluene(2:1)solvent system afforded thieno[2,3-d] pyrimidines in moderate to good yield (upto66%) as single products.
