1-Amino -5-morpholino-6,7,8,9-tetrahydrothieno[2,3-c]isoquinoline-2-carbonitrile has been converted to the chloroacetylamino derivative which was subjected to nucleophilic substitution reactions with different amines. Reaction of 1-amino-5-morpholino-6,7,8,9-tetrahydrothieno[2,3-c]isoquinoline-2-carbonitrile with triethyl orthoformate followed by cyclisation with hydrazine yielded an aminoiminopyrimidine derivative. The latter was used as a starting material for the synthesis of a variety of fused heterocyclic compounds which include triazolopyrimidothienotetrahydroisoquinolines.
