Abstract

4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) promotes an efficient and experimentally rapid protocol for the synthesis of 2,3-dicarboalkoxy-4-aroyl/heteroaroyl/alkanoyl thiophenes in high yields via 1-2 (C-S) and 3-4 (C-C) bond connections in only 3-5 min in DCM at room temperature. This method allows a clean and general synthesis of previously inaccessible and synthetically demanding thiophenes.
