The syntheses and reactions of various thieno[2,3‐c]‐ and thieno[3,2‐c] pyridines are described. Molecular orbital calculations were performed on thieno[2,3‐c]pyridine (1) in order to determine the most susceptible sites to electrophilic and nucleophilic attack. Superdelocalizability values, Sr‐ are reported for each position in this molecule to give relative orders of reactivity towards the two types of reactions. Electrophilic attack was found to occur experimentally at C‐3 in all the thienopyridines studied. Peracid oxidation of thieno[2,3‐c]‐ and thieno[3,2‐c]pyridines produced only the N‐oxide. The lack of reactivity of certain thienopyridines under Vilsmeier formylation and Friedel‐Crafts acetylation conditions was related to their basicities. The dissociation constants of various thienopyridinium salts are reported.
Die 2‐Carbonyl‐thiophene (Ia) und (Ib) liefern mit dem Aminoacetaldehydacetal (II) die Kondensationsprodukte (IIIa) und (IIIb), die mit Polyphosphorsäure zu den Thieno(2,3‐c)pyridinen (IVa) und (IVb) cyclisiert werden.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
