The acenaphthenone-derived a-oxoketene dithioacetal 2 has been subjected to various [3 + 3] aromatic and heteroaromatic annulation and other heterocyclization reactions previously developed in our laboratory, providing short and efficient routes to a diverse range of known and unknown acenaphtho-annulated linear and angular PAHs, heteroaromatics and five-membered heterocycles in good yields. Thus, benzo- and naphthoannulation of 2 with various allyl and benzyl Grignard reagents afforded substituted fluoranthenes 4a-c and benzo[k]fluoranthene 8, respectively, in good yields. Similarly, the parent benzo[j]fluoranthene 15a and its substituted derivative 16b have been synthesized by base-induced conjugate 1,4-addition of arylacetonitriles to 2, followed by acid-induced cyclization of the conjugate adducts 12a-b to give 13a-b and subsequent further transformations. The adducts obtained by 1,4-addition of anions derived from acetophenone and acenaphthenone were subjected to heterocyclization in the presence of ammonium acetate to give 8-arylacenaphtho[1,2-b]pyridines 18a-b and bis(acenaphtho)-annulated pyridine 20. Heterocyclization of 2 with bifunctional nucleophiles such as 2-picolyllithium and guanidinium nitrate afforded the corresponding acenaphtho[1,2-b]quinolizinium salt 23 and acenaphtho[1,2-d]pyrimidine 24, respectively, in high yields. Finally, acenaphtho[1,2-c]-fused five-membered heterocycles such as 7-(methylthio)acenaphtho[1,2-c]thiophene (25), 7-(methylthio)acenaphtho[1,2-c]furan (27) and 7-(methylthio)acenaphtho[1,2-c] pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid (30) were obtained in good yields by subjection of 2 to Simmons-Smith reaction conditions or by treatment with dimethylsulfonium methylide or glycinate dianion. Some of these newly synthesized PAHs or fused heterocycles were subjected to Raney Ni desulfurization to furnish sulfurfree compounds. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2005.
ARE THIOPHENES ATTACKED AT SULPHUR BY NITRENES?

Ethyl azidoformate is shown to attack a range of thiophenes at sulphur giving transient S,N-ylides which can be trapped with acenaphthylene as adducts; thiophene yields self-trapped products also.
