Abstract

The high temperature gas-phase reaction of 2-chlorothiophene with a mixture of diethyl disulfide and diethyl trisulfide constitutes a simple one-step synthesis of a 4∶1 mixture of thieno[2,3-b]- and thieno[3,2-b]-thiophenes. Their total yield depends on the nature of the donor of the ethylthio group.
