Ms. Amine et al., 1,4-ARYLATION OF BETA-AROYLACRYLIC ACIDS WITH THIOPHENE AND UTILIZATION OF THE PRODUCTS IN SYNTHESIS OF SOME HETEROCYCLES, Indian journal of chemistry. Sect. B: organic chemistry, including medical chemistry, 35(10), 1996, pp. 1097-1100
beta-Aroylacrylic acids react with thiophene in boiling benzene to giv
e alpha-(2-thienyl)-beta-aroylpropionic acids (1a-c). The reactions of
1c with hydrazine hydrate, hydroxylamine hydrochloride, semicarbazide
hydrochloride, aromatic aldehydes, and acetic anhydride yield pyridaz
inone 2, oxazinone 3, semicarbazone 4, arylidene propionic acids (5a-c
) and furanones (6a-c), respectively. The reactions of compound 6c wit
h some nitrogen nucleophiles and aromatic hydrocarbons under Friedel C
rafts' conditions have also been discussed.
