A novel simple approach to highly functionalized multisubstituted thiophenes such as alkyl 4-alkoxy-5-amino-3-methylthiophene-2-carboxylates through the one-pot sequential reaction of α-lithiated alkoxyallenes with isothiocyanates and alkyl 2-bromoacetates has been discovered. The process proceeds quickly (30-45 min) via in situ formation and intramolecular cyclization of alkyl 2-[(2-alkoxybuta-2,3-dienimidoyl)sulfanyl]acetates (1-aza-1,3,4-trienes).

Pyridines undergo site selective cross-coupling with secondary phosphine chalcogenides (oxides, sulfides, and selenides) in the presence of acylphenylacetylenes under metal-free mild conditions (70-75 °C, MeCN) to afford 4-chalcogenophosphoryl pyridines in up to 71% yield. In this new type of SNHAr reaction acylacetylenes act as oxidants, being stereoselectively reduced to the corresponding olefins of the E-configuration.

Terminal acylacetylenes, typical electron-deficient acetylenes, drive SNH cross-coupling of pyridines with secondary phosphine chalcogenides under metal-free mild conditions (20–75 °C) to afford 4-chalcogenophosphorylpyridines in up to 70% yield. The reaction...
