Photoirradiation of 158e in the presence of iodine affords the benzo[6]naphtho[2,l-d]thiophene (159) 158a-d similarly give the appropriate methyl-substituted compounds.465 With ethyl diazo-... 

The formation of naphtho[6c]thiophene-3-ones 106 takes place on acylation of 2-substituted benzo[b]thiophenes 103 with cinnamoyl chloride (78AP710, 78LA627 79LA965). Interestingly, the aromatization of the intermediate 105 occurs with elimination of benzene. Chalcone 104 also may be obtained on acetylation of benzo[fe]thiophene 103, followed by condensation of benzaldehyde with the methyl group of the 3-acetylbenzo[b]thiophene intermediate (79LA965). 

Cava and Pollack s elegant synthesis of benzo[c]thiophene52 has been extended to the synthesis of, for example, naphtho[l,2-c]thio-phene (47),52 methyl benzo[c]thiophene-5-carboxylate,54 and 1,3-dimethyl- (48)55 and l,3,4,6-tetraphenylthieno[3,4-c]thiophene (49).56 The last compound is of particular interest because it is a remarkably stable (cf. compound 48 which only exists transiently) nonclassical thiophene containing ten n electrons for which the only uncharged resonance structure (49) contains a tetravalent sulfur atom. When the sulfoxide (50) is pyrolyzed over aluminum oxide, it gives the parent cyclic sulfide and 51 by disproportionation.57 However, when 50 is heated in acetic anhydride in the presence of iV-phenylmaleimide,...
