Thiophene-Fused π-Systems from Diarylacetylenes and Elemental Sulfur

A simple yet effective method for the formation of thiophene-fused π-systems is reported. When arylethynyl-substituted polycyclic arenes were heated in DMF in the presence of elemental sulfur, the corresponding thiophene-fused polycyclic arenes were obtained via cleavage of the ortho-C-H bond. Thus, arylethynylated naphthalenes, fluoranthenes, pyrenes, corannulenes, chrysenes, and benzo[c]naphtho[2,1-p]chrysenes were effectively converted into the corresponding thiophene-fused π-systems. Apart from polycyclic hydrocarbons, thiophene derivatives are also susceptible to this reaction. The practical utility of this reaction is demonstrated by preparations on the decagram scale, one-pot two-step reaction sequences, and multiple thiophene annulations.

The addition of simple aromatic hydrocarbons to condensed aromatic thiophenes promoted by aluminum chloride. Part II. Naphthothiophene

The reaction of naphthothiophene with an aromatic hydrocarbon in the presence of aluminum chloride at 20 deg C gave either a 3-aryl-2,3-dihydronaphthothiophene by addition to the 2,3-bond or 2,3-dihydronaphthothiophene as a result of hydride abstraction.Occasionally 2-aryl-2,3-dihydronaphthothiophenes were obtained.At higher temperatures 2-arylnaphthothiophenes and 2,3-dihydronaphthothiophene were isolated.Attempts are made to rationalize the formation of these products in terms of protonation of naphthothiophene by moist aluminum chloride and reaction of the resulting electrophile with an aromatic substrate.
