Thiopheniobis(alkoxycarbonyl)methanides undergo intramolecular rearrangement when heated, to give 2H-thiopyrans as thermally unstable kinetic products.When the methanides are subjected to prolonged heating thiophene-2-malonates are produced as the major rearrangement products.A mechanism for these transformations is advanced in an attempt to rationalise the known reactivity of thiophene and its derivatives towards diazoalkanes.
