Abstract
A new general synthesis of 3- and 3,4-substituted 4a-q, 3,4-annelated 7a-d and condensed tricyclic 9a-e thiophenes has been developed through Simmons-Smith reaction on the respective α-oxoketene dithioacetals. Extension of the reaction to α-cinnamoylketene dithioacetals 10a-e and its higher enyl analogs 13a-d, 15a-c gave the corresponding 3-styryl 11a-e and 3-di- and trienyl 14a-d, 16a-c thiophenes in highly regioselectivemanner. A probable mechanism involving an unutual intramolecular aldol condensation of sulphonium ylid formed through carbenoid methylene insertion on divalent sulfur has been suggested.
