Condensation of 5-substituted 4-thiolen-2-ones (1) with aromatic aldehydes (2) in anhydrous ethanolic HCl generates the 3-benzylidene derivatives 3.These can be rearranged in base (benzylidene-thiolactone rearrangement) to 2,5-disubstituted thiophene-3-carboxylic acids (4, 5, or 6).
Improved Synthesis of 3-Aralkylidine-5-arylthiophen-2-(3H)ones

, p. 1253 - 1254 (2007/10/02)
3-Aralkylidene-5-arylthiophen-2-(3H)ones can be prepared in two steps from 4-aryl-4-oxobutanoic acids through the intermediacy of butenolides and thiophenones generated by the sequential action of acetic anhydride, sodium hydrosulfide and aromatic aldehyd
