Abstract

2-Benzyliden-2H-thieto[3,2-b]quinoline: A New Heterocycle and ItsRearrangement to 2-Phenylthieno[3,2-b]quinoline. -The first examples of thieto[3,2-b]quinolines (III) are synthesized and shown to rearrange readily to interesting and rare thienoquinolines (IV). The latter can also be directly obtained via one-pot reaction of aminobenzaldehydes and benzylidenethietanes (II). -(HADDADIN, M. J.; EL-NACHEF, C.; KISSERWANI, H.; CHAABAN, Y.; KURTH*, M.
