Synthesis of 3-aryl thiophenes from disodium 2-aryl succinates: Role of red phosphorus

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919508010812

Role played by red phosphorus in the synthesis of 3-aryl thiophenes from disodium 2-aryl succinates using P₄S₁₀ discussed. A new simple method for the synthesis of 2-(4-methylphenyl)succinic acid is also described.
