2-Benzylidene-3-methyl-4-nitro-2,5-dihydrothiophene 1,1-dioxide reacted with acyclic CH acids (acetylacetone, diethyl malonate, and its derivatives) according to the 1,4-addition pattern, whereas reactions of the title compound with cyclohexane-1,3-dione and 5,5-dimethylcyclohexane-1,3-dione (dimedone) were complicated by subsequent intramolecular heterocyclization leading to thieno[3,2-b]chromene derivatives.II, X = Y = CO 2 Me; III, X = Y = CO 2 Et; IV, X = COMe, Y = CO 2 Et; V, X = Y = COMe; VI, X = Y = CN.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
