“…[1,2,[5][6][7][8][9][10][11] They are used in the synthesis of sulfur containing heterocycles like thiophenes, thiopyrans and other bioactive molecules like cyclopentanoids, polyenes, etc. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] Thiophenes form a major class of bioactive heterocycles. They show a broad spectrum of biological response such as antibacterial, [12][13][14] anti-leishmanial, [1] antifungal, [1,[12][13][14][15] antimicrobial, [12][13][14][15] antitumor, [16,17] anticancer, [16,17] antiinflammatory, [13,14] antiproliferative, [18] molluscicidal [19] and anticonvulsant activity.…”
