B. Zaleska et al., POLYCARBONYL HETEROCYCLES, PART IX - SYNTHESIS OF THIOPHENE-2,3-DIONEDERIVATIVES AND THEIR TRANSFORMATION TO PYRROLO[3,2-C]PYRIDINE SYSTEMS, Tetrahedron letters, 39(25), 1998, pp. 4581-4584
Thiophene-2,3-dione derivatives 2 were prepared in the reaction of bet
a-aminovinylthioamides 1 with ethyl oxalyl chloride. Treatment of comp
ounds 2b,c with malonodinitrile led to the ring transformation of the
thiophene-2,3-dione system to pyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridine derivatives 4b,c.
