Reaction of 3-(3-cyanopropoxy)[1]benzothiophene-2-carbonitrile with sodium hydride gave 5-amino-1,2-dihydro[1]benzothieno[3,2-d]furo[2,3-b]pyridine and 5-amino-2,3-dihydro[1]benzothieno[3,2-b]oxepin-4-carbonitrile. The latter compound served as a convenient scaffold for the synthesis of the new heterocycles [1]benzothieno[3,2:2,3]oxepino[4,5-d]pyrimidines and the parent 1,2,4,5-tetrahydro[1]benzothieno[2,3:6,7]oxepino[4,5-e]imidazo[1,2-c]pyrimidine heterocyclic system. The new compounds described in this report were evaluated as inhibitors of platelet aggregation in vitro.
