“…In these SNAr reactions, the thiophene nucleus is generally substituted by one electron withdrawing group like nitro 3,6,[16][17][18] or by a combination of a nitro group and other electron attracting functions like nitro 7,9 , cyano 7,19 , carboxylate 14,16,19 , acetyl 8,14,19 , trifluoromethanesulfinyl 4 , carboxamido. 14,19 Leaving groups are usually halides 4,5,8,14,15,18 or methoxy 7,15,16 but also phenylsulfonyl 17,18 or nitrophenoxy. 17,18 The solvents used in these studies are benzene, toluene, xylene, methanol, dimethylsulfoxide, dimethylformamide or acetonitrile.…”
