Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds Aims and scope

Abstract

5-Propionyl-2-thiophene aldehyde, mp 101–101. 5°, is synthesized by two routes, from 2-propiothienone, and from 2-thiophene aldehyde, and its structure is confirmed by oxidation to 5-propionyl-2-thiophene carboxylic acid and thiophene-2, 5-dicarboxylic acid. The fact that 2-acetals and 2-ketals of the thiophene series are metallated only at position 5 in the ring by n-butyllithium is confirmed. Attempts to synthesize 5-propionyl-2-thiophene aldehyde by a method given by Janda and Dvorak [1, 2] were unsuccessful.
