Abstract
X‐ray analysis of a crystalline product obtained by treatment of 5‐ethylthieno[2,3‐b]pyridine with excess acidified hypochlorite establishes its stereochemistry as trans‐2,3‐dichloro‐5‐ethyl‐2,3‐dihydrothieno‐[2,3‐b]pyridine syn‐1‐oxide (5), wherein the pyridine ring is planar and the dihydrothiophene ring is non‐planar with a C2‐S‐C7a angle of 86.6°. The trans geometry is corroborated by a proton‐proton coupling constant J~2,3~ of 6.8 Hz. Comparison of ^1^H and ^13^C nmr data for 5 with analogous crystalline 2,3‐dichloro‐1‐oxide addenda isolated in the isosteric benzo[b]thiophene and thieno[2,3‐b]pyridine parent systems indicates that some proposed stereochemical assignments are questionable.
