A series of new S,C-ylides derived from benzo[b]thiophene and β-dicarbonyldiazocompounds were prepared and characterised. NMR (1H,13C) studies revealed that ylides substituted additionally at position 2 of the thiophene ring can exist as pairs of diastereoisomers, not interchangeable at room temperature. The slow exchange between two sites was attributed to the restricted rotation about the ylidic S-C bond. The crystal structure determined for one ylide demonstrated different molecular environment for two parts of the β-dicarbonyl ylidic substituent with respect to the benzothiophene ring. The prepared ylides were found to be much less reactive than the previously studied thiophenium S,C-ylides.
