“…Compounds 2 , 4a , and 5a were prepared starting from 1a (dibenzo[ b , d ]thiophene; Acros Organics, Geel, Belgium) according to literature methods [30,31,32]. The preparation of intermediates 3 , 5b , 8a , 8b , and the final compound 10 have been described previously, but with different synthetic routes or from starting materials not used in our protocols [17,31,62]. Intermediate 6a (two steps from 4a ), 6b (one step from 5b ) and final compounds 10a , 10b , 11a and 11b (one step each, from amine 9a ), which have been prepared according to the literature [62], were also reported by Gao et al [17].…”
