Reactions of Cyano- and Carboxy-thiophens.—-Amidines and imino-ethers as well as triazoles and tetrazines have been prepared from cyano-thiophens. The modified Lossen rearrangement of sodium JVA -dihydroxythiophen-2,3-di-carboxamide with benzenesulphonyl chloride furnished a mixture of (176) and (177) in 54% yield in a 1 3 ratio. Azo dyes have been prepared by diazotiza-tion of A -(4 -aminophenyl)thiophen-2-carboxamides. 2-Thienylthiocarbonyl... 

Methylthiophene is metallated in the 5-position whereas 3-methoxy-, 3-methylthio-, 3-carboxy- and 3-bromo-thiophenes are metallated in the 2-position (80TL5051). Lithiation of tricarbonyl(i7 -N-protected indole)chromium complexes occurs initially at C-2. If this position is trimethylsilylated, subsequent lithiation is at C-7 with minor amounts at C-4 (81CC1260). Tricarbonyl(Tj -l-triisopropylsilylindole)chromium(0) is selectively lithiated at C-4 by n-butyllithium-TMEDA. This offers an attractive intermediate for the preparation of 4-substituted indoles by reaction with electrophiles and deprotection by irradiation (82CC467). 

Diacyl-3,4-dihydroxythiophenes have been formulated as dienol tautomers (77T191). The same holds for 2,5-diaryl- and 5-aryl-2-carboxy derivatives (91JHC1449). ESR investigations of 6-halogeno-benzo[h] thiophene-2,3-semidiones (Scheme 13) have been reported (81JOC751). 

Docosanedioic acid has been prepared by Wolff-Kishner reduction of 6,17-diketodocosanedioic acid, formed by reaction of the half-ester acid chloride of adipic acid with the a,co-cadmium derivative of decane (%26 overall yield).3 Reduction of Wolff-Kishner method, followed by simultaneous reduction and desulfurization with Raney nickel of the 2,5-bis(co-carboxyoctyl)thiophene pro-... 

Quinoxalinedicarboxylic anhydride (47) and 2-amino-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroben-zo[Z ]thiophene-2-carboxylic acid (48) gave 3-[iV-(3-carboxy-4,5,6,7-tetrahy-drobenzo[/7]thien-2-yl)carbamoyl]-2-quinoxalinecarboxylic acid (49) (EtOH, reflux, 30 min 80% analogs likewise). 

Such nucleophilic displacements are likely to be addition-elimination reactions, whether or not radical anions are also interposed as intermediates. The addition of methoxide ion to 2-nitrofuran in methanol or dimethyl sulfoxide affords a deep red salt of the anion 69 PMR shows the 5-proton has the greatest upfield shift, the 3- and 4-protons remaining vinylic in type.18 7 The similar additions in the thiophene series are less complete, presumably because oxygen is relatively electronegative and the furan aromaticity relatively low. Additional electronegative substituents increase the rate of addition and a second nitro group makes it necessary to use stopped flow techniques of rate measurement.141 In contrast, one acyl group (benzoyl or carboxy) does not stabilize an addition product and seldom promotes nucleophilic substitution by weaker nucleophiles such as ammonia. Whereas... 

Also as noted above any substituents present have little effect upon such oxidations. In 2,2 -methylenedifuran (118) the rings are attacked simultaneously giving a tetramethoxy derivative.297 Even the bulk of the fert-butyl group has little effect.298 The only marked substituent effect is that exerted by an aromatic (benzene, thiophene, furan) residue which, if directly attached at the 2-position, promotes elimination instead of the addition of another methoxy group. The net process then becomes one of arylation, as when 2-(2-thienyl)furan (119) is oxidized to 120.298 There are reports that acetyl and carboxy groups can be ejected during oxidation, but that ester groups are usually retained.287... 

PMR spectroscopy has found wide application in studies of unsubstituted tWenothiophenes, " enophenothiophenes (Table I), > 9 carboxy-, formyl-, bromo-, and adkyl- thienothiophenes, and carboxy- selenopheno-thiophenes. The PMR meAod has also been used to study alkylthieno-[3,2-h]thiophene sulfones and 4,6-dihydrothieno[3,4-h]tMophene (131)9 analyze the mixture of products of the thio-Claisen ... 

Substituting a formyl, carboxy, or carbalkoxy group into a thieno-thiophene or selenophenothiophene molecule has no substantial effect on Ae coupling constants but considerably affects the chemical shifts (see Litvinov and Fraenkel and Michael and Gronowitz ). The chemical shifts of the protons in the selenophene ring are characteristic of different t rpes of condensation of the thiophene and selenophene rings and increase in the order 15 > 14 > 16 irrespective of the solvent used (acetone, CCIJ. A similar sequence is observed in the carbonyl derivatives of the isomeric selenophenothiophenes. 

Incorporating an electron-donor alkyl group into position 2 of 2 was shown by foe present authors to facilitate S-oxidation thus, 2-efoyl-thieno[3,2-6]thiophene-l,1-dioxide (214) was prepared at40°-45° from 2-ethylthieno[3,2-6]thiophene, hydrogen peroxide and acetic acid. The thieno[3,2-6]thiophene system undergoes oxidation even if foe second a-position is carboxy-substituted oxidation of 5-efoylthieno[3,2-6]-thiophene-2-carboxylic acid furnished foe 4,4-dioxide (215) subsequently decarboxylated to sulfone (214) [Eq. (70)]. The [2,3-6] isomers, 20 and 55, with foe sulfur atoms bound to foe same carbon atom, do not form sulfones under similar conditions. 

Analogous oxidation of methyl 4,6-dihydrothieno[3,4-i]thiophene-2-carboxylate (134) leads to the 5,5-dioxide (135) (70%) hydrolysis and subsequent oxidation with sodium metaperiodate at 0° (cf. Leonard and Johnson ) results in 2-carboxy-4,6-dihydrothieno[3,4-i]thiophene-5-oxide (91) (74%). ... 

The benzene ring has been proposed as an isosteric replacement in a dipeptide to enforce either the tram l1 1 or the cis conformation 312>31 (Scheme 1). Similarly, 2-(amino-methyl)pyrrole-l-acetic acid (8, R = H) has been proposed as a cis peptide bond mimic,141 having the same number of atoms between the amino and carboxylic acid functions as in a dipeptide. Several other amino- and carboxy-substituted aromatic structures have been used as spacers in peptides 2-, 3-, and 4-aminobenzoic acids (Abz, e.g., 7), 2-, 3-, and 4-(amino-methyl)benzoic acids (Amb, e.g., 2), 2-, 3-, and 4-(aminophenyl)acetic acids (APha, e.g., 5), 2- (4), 3-, and 4-(aminomethylphenyl)acetic acid (Ampa), (aminomethyl)pyrrole-, -thiophene-, and -furancarboxylic acids 6, (aminomethyl)pyrrole- 8 and -thienylacetic acids, and aminobiphenylcarboxylic acids.
