Abstract

The Gewald reaction of PEG-bound cyanoacetic ester, elemental sulfur, DIPEA and carbonyl compounds carried out under microwave irradiation afforded PEG-supported thiophenes, which were acylated and treated with 1% KCN in methanol to give free thiophenes in good yields. This synthetic method is simple and mild.
