The carbonyl group present in benzothiophen-3-ones 4, 3,4-dihydrothiopyrano
[3,2-b]benzothiophen-4(2H)-ones 11 and 3,4-dihydro-2H,5H-thiopyrano[2',3' :
4,5]thiopyrano[3,2-b]benwzothiophen-4-ones 16 has been made use to develop
1,2,3-selena and thiadiazoles via their semicarbazones by the reaction wit
h selenium dioxide and thionyl chloride. The IR, H-1 NMR and C, H analyses
has been utilized to characterize the new compounds.
