At present the most robust photochromic molecules are diarylethenes with benzo-thiophene aryl groups [13]. They undergo more than 1.3 x 10" photochromic cycles in the presence of oxygen without destruction. Recently crystalline photochromic diarylethenes have been developed [57, 58] which could repeat the cycles more than 10 times.

Organic sulfur in coal is present in many different sulfur containing functional groups. Only divalent sulfur is found the most importants compoimds are thiophenes, aryl-, cyclic-, alifatic sulfides and aryl- and alifatic thiols. 

Substituted Thiophens. Aryl-substituted thiophens cannot be planar, and several theoretical studies have been made to predict preferred conformations. EHT computations for 2- and 3-phenylthiophen (40) predict an angle of distortion of 37° between the two planes of the cyclic ir-systems the electron distribution in these conformations was calculated by the CNDO/2-approach and comparison was made between the theoretical and experimental dipole moments. The calculations were later extended to (41) and its hetero-analogues. Bond-length calculations predict a very long bond between the heterocycles, which largely preserves the geometries of individual furan and thiophen ring systems. 

Pd(II) salts promote the carbonylation of organomercury compounds. Reaction of phenylmercury chloride and PdCh under CO pressure affords benzophenone (429)[387]. Both esters and ketones are obtained by the carbonylation of furylmercury(Il) chloride in alcohol[388]. Although the yields are not satisfactory, esters are obtained by the carbonylation of aryl- and alkylmercuryfll) chlorides[389,390]. One-pot catalytic carbonylation of thiophene, furan, and pyrrole (430) takes place at the 2-position via mercuration and transmetallation by the use of PdCb, Hg(N03), and CuCl2[391]. 

The cross-coupling of aromatic and heteroaromatic rings has been carried out extensively[555]. Tin compounds of heterocycles such as oxazo-lines[556,557], thiophene[558,559], furans[558], pyridines[558], and seleno-phenes [560] can be coupled with aryl halides. The syntheses of the phenylo.xazoline 691[552], dithiophenopyridine 692[56l] and 3-(2-pyridyl)qui-noline 693[562] are typical examples. 

Thiophene [110-02-1] and a number of its derivatives are significant in fine chemical industries as intermediates to many products for pharmaceutical, agrochemical, dyestuffs, and electronic appHcations. This article concentrates on the industrial, commercial, and economic aspects of the production and apphcations of thiophene and thiophene derivatives and details the main synthetic schemes to the parent ring system and simple alkyl and aryl derivatives. Functionalization of the ring and the synthesis of some functional derivatives that result, not from the parent ring system, but by direct ring cyclization reactions are also considered. Many good reviews on the chemistry of thiophene and thiophene derivatives are available (1 7). 

Mercapto derivatives of furan, thiophene, selenophene (77ACS(B)198) and pyrrole (72AJC985) all exist predominantly in the thiol form. 2-Mercaptobenzothiophene is also a thiol (70JCS(C)243i) whereas 2-mercaptoindole is mainly indoline-2-thione (89) (69CPB550). The finely balanced nature of this system is indicated by the fact that a 3-aryl, but not a 3-alkyl, substituent will stabilize the 2-thiol form, whereas for 3-aryl-fV-methyl derivatives the 2-thione tautomer is preferred (71CC836). 

There are examples of preferential arylation of Af-substituted pyrroles, thiophenes and furans in the 2-position. A preparatively useful reaction of this type is the o-nitrophenylation of thiophene (Scheme 40). A phase transfer catalytic technique has been recommended for this reaction (77TL1871). 

Carbon-sulfur bonds can be formed by the reaction of elemental sulfur with a lithio derivative, as illustrated by the preparation of thiophene-2-thiol (201) (700S(50)104). If dialkyl or diaryl disulfides are used as reagents to introduce sulfur, then alkyl or aryl sulfides are formed sulfinic acids are available by reaction of lithium derivatives with sulfur dioxide. 

There are reports of an increasing number of palladium-assisted reactions, in some of which the palladium has a catalytic function. Thus furan and thiophene undergo facile palladium-assisted alkenylation giving 2-substituted products. Benzo[6 Jfuran and TV- acetyl-indole yield cyclization products, dibenzofurans and carbazoles respectively, in addition to alkenylated products (8UOC851). The arylation of pyrroles can be effected by treatment with palladium acetate and an arene (Scheme 86) (81CC254). 

Ring closures which depend on the conversion of the heteroatom into an electrophile are mostly associated with the formation of thiophene, selenophene and tellurophene rings and some illustrative examples are shown in Scheme 17. The last example which concerns the conversion of reaction with isocyanides is of particular interest since it appears to entail the attack of an electrophilic nitrogen species on the aryl ring.
