Condensed thiophene systems, tetra- and pentacyclic, 32, 127 Condensed 1,2,4-triazines I. Fused to heterocycles with three-, four-, and five-membered rings, 59, 39 Condensed l,2,4-triazolo[3,4-z] heterocycles, synthesis, 49, 277... 

In 1951-1953 Rabindran and Tilak51,52 introduced a new dibenzo-thiophene synthesis and extended it to tetracyclic and pentacyclic systems. This method involves a two-step process of condensing a thioarenol with an a-halo ketone or a-haloacetal to form an a-(arylthio) ketone or a-(arylthio)-acetal intermediate, which is subsequently cyclized intramolecularly. The three principal variations introduced by Tilak and co-workers are presented in Schemes 3, 5, and 6 and were summarized in I960.528...
