β¦ Synopsis
A convenient one-pot synthesis of [1]benzothieno [3,2-b]benzothiophene from readily available o-dihalostilbenes using combined reagents of sodium sulfide nonahydrate (Na 2 SΓ9H 2 O) or sodium hydrosulfide hydrate (NaSHΓnH 2 O) and sulfur is described along with plausible reaction paths in this intriguing reaction.
