The Reaction of 2,3,4-Trichlorothiophene with Alkyllithium Reagents

2,3,4-Trichlorothiophene undergoes metal-hydrogen exchange with one equivalent of butyllithium in THF at -78 deg C to give trichloro-2-thienyllithium in 91percent yield.No metal-halogen exchange is observed to have taken place.With t-butyllithium under similar conditions, however, the metal-halogen exchange reaction occurs but only to the extent of 8percent; the main reaction remains to be the metal-hydrogen exchange. 2,3,4-Trichlorothiophene reacts with two equivalents of butyllithium in ether at -5 deg C to give 3,4-dichloro-2,5-dilithiothiophene in 96percent yield. - Keywords: 3,4-Dichloro-2,5-dilithiothiophene; Lithium-chlorine exchange; Trichloro-2-thienyllithium; 2,3,4-Trichlorothiophene
Reaction of 2,3,4-Trichlorothiopene and Tetrachlorothiophene with Ethylmagnesium Bromide. Preparation of Trichloro-2-thienylmagnesium Bromide and 2,5-Bis(Bromomagnesium)-3,4-Dichlorothiophene

Metal-hydrogen exchange between ethylmagnesium bromide and 2,3,4-trichlorothiophene in THF gives trichloro-2-thienylmagnesium bromide in at least 86percent yield.Similarly, metal-halogen exchange between tetrachlorothiophene and ethylmagnesium bromide produces trichloro-2-thienylmagnesium bromide in 84percent yield.The reaction of two and a half equivalents of ethylmagnesium bromide with 2,3,4-trichlorothiophene yields a mixture of trichloro-2-thienylmagnesium bromide (40percent) and 2,5-bis(Bromomagnesium)-3,4-dichlorothiophene (41percent).The Grignard reagents were characterised by converting them into the corresponding known trimethylsilylderivatives and carboxylic acids.
