Abstract:in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com).In an extension of our prior work with indoles and pyrroles, the Diels-Alder chemistry of substituted 2vinylthiophenes was explored, using N-phenylmaleimide as the dienophile. The dienes were prepared from thiophene in two steps by addition to various ketones, followed by dehydration (40-60% overall yields). Although most dienes were obtained as regioisomeric mixtures, the Diels-Alder-derived products were easily purified by chromatography. The main cycloadditio… Show more
“…Interestingly, a few reports were found on the Diels–Alder reaction of 2-(1′-cycloalkenyl)thiophenes or 2-(1′-cycloalkenyl)benzo[ b ]thiophenes ( 10 , Figure ). The resulting Diels–Alder adducts can also undergo Michael-addition or ene-reaction with an additional molecule of dienophile. ,, In an extension of our prior works with 3-vinylindoles, 2- and 3-vinylpyrroles, and 5-(pyrrolidin-3-yl)thieno[3,2- e ]isoindoles ( 8 and 9 ; Figure ), we became interested in the Diels–Alder reaction of 2-(1′-cycloalkenyl)thiophenes and 2-(1′-cycloalkenyl)benzo[ b ]thiophenes with N -phenylmaleimide as the dienophile in the current study. In this article, we focused on understanding the reactivity of 2-(1′-cycloalkenyl)thiophenes and 2-(1′-cycloalkenyl)benzo[ b ]thiophenes dienes in the Diels–Alder/ene reactions and also detailed characterization of the stereochemistry of the products.…”
Scaffolds of thiophene and benzothiophene
are the important class
of bioactive compounds found abundant in nature. The Diels–Alder
reactions of 2-(1′-cycloalkenyl)thiophenes and 2-(1′-cycloalkenyl)benzo[b]thiophenes having the alkene groups present in five-,
six-, seven-, eight-, and twelve-membered rings with substituted N-phenylmaleimides are characterized. The size of the cycloalkene
rings plays a critical role in dictating the product distributions
of expected and isomerized Diels–Alder adducts. 2D NMR studies
indicate that the isolated isomers for 2-(1′-cycloalkenyl)thiophenes
having five-, six-, and seven-membered rings are aromatized benzothiophene
products, whereas eight- and twelve-membered rings are un-rearranged
adducts. In addition, the product of subsequent ene-reaction with
the N-phenylmaleimide is isolated for the five- and
six-membered ring cases. Interestingly, in the 2-(1′-cycloalkenyl)benzo[b]thiophene having five-, six-, seven-, eight-, and twelve-membered
rings, the un-rearranged dibenzothiophene Diels–Alder adduct
is isolated in every instance. Molecular mechanics and density functional
theory (M06-2X and PBE0-D3) calculations are performed to understand
the differential reactivity of the various dienes for both the initial
Diels–Alder reaction and a possible, subsequent ene reaction.

An efficient and highly selective reaction of 2‐(2‐bromophenyl)‐5,6,7,8‐tetrahydrobenzo[4,5]thieno[2,3‐d]pyrimidin‐4(3H)‐one and terminal alkyne has been developed under palladium‐free conditions by CuI‐catalyzed sequential Sonogashira coupling reaction and 5 ‐exo‐dig hydroamination reaction. A series of 11‐arylidene‐2,3,4,11‐tetrahydrobenzo[4',5']thieno[2',3':4,5]pyrimido[2,1‐a]isoindol‐13(1H)‐one derivatives with only the (E)‐configuration were obtained and stabilized by intramolecular C‐H…O hydrogen bonding for stabilization.
