Co-thermolysis: A one-pot synthetic method for novel 2-substituted-5- (trifluoromethoxy)thiophenes

A new 'green' process to obtain trifluoromethoxylated compounds by a gas-phase method has been accomplished. Through it, new 2-substituted-5- (trifluoromethoxy)thiophenes have been obtained in moderate to good yields. Though the reaction occurs in the gas-phase and radicals are involved, an electron transfer mechanism is also postulated to explain the appearance of all detected products.

Selective metallation of 3-halothiophenes: Practical methods for the synthesis of 2-bromo-3-formylthiophene

Selective lithiation of 3-bromothiophene was accomplished under controlled conditions without formation of undesired thienyllithium compounds. A thienyl Grignard reagent derived from 2-bromo-3-iodothiophene was transformed into 2-bromo-3-formylthiophene in high selectivity by formylation with dimethylformamide (DMF) at optimal reaction temperature.
