✦ Synopsis
A one-pot route to 3-benzo[b]thiophen-2-yl-acrylates (2) from the corresponding thiophenols (1) is reported. Ester reduction and subsequent hydroxyl esterification deliver psuedo trienoates (II) which undergo an intramolecular Diels-Alder (IMDA) reaction to give two 2-oxa-9-thiacyclopenta[b]fluoren-3-one products (I)-the major Diels-Alder product rearomatizes to 7.

The 6-step sequence to trienone 2, a known intermediate for the total synthesis of periplanone-B, involves the conversion of 2 into 5 using dilithiated propadiene, the IMDA of 4 to E-adducts 1 and 6, the conversion of 2 to diol S via a radical anion promoted cleavage of the oxygen bridge, and a in-s
Alkylation of 1,2,4-triazine-6-thiones with 4-iodobutyne, followed by oxidation to the sulfoxide and intramolecular cycloaddition (at room temperature), gives 2,3-dihydrothieno[2,3-c]pyridines, which are readily dehydrated with acetic anhydride to thieno[2,3\_c]pyridines. The same series of reactio
