Syntheses of several spiro[benzo[b]thiophen-6(5H),1'-cycloalkan]-4(7H)-ones
(Type A) and spiro[benzo[b]thiophen-5,1' -cycloalkan]-4(5H)-ones (Type B)
and their 2-alkyl derivatives are described. The regioselectivity in the Fr
iedel-Crafts acylation of thiophenes with anhydride of various unsymmetrica
lly substituted succinic acid having substituent(s) at the same carbon atom
in two different solvents namely dichloromethane and nitrobenzene is studi
ed. A plausible explanation of such regioselective acylation of thiophenes
has been incorporated.
