Mono (iminophosphorane) 4 was selectively prepared from the reaction of 3, 4- diaminothieno [2, 3-b] thiophene 3 with excess triphenylphosphine, C2Cl6, and Et3N due to intramolecular double hydrogen bond formation. Mono (iminophosphorane) 4 reacted with aromatic isocyanates to give stable carbodiimides 8, which were further treated with aliphatic secondary or primary amines to give 2-amino substituted thieno [3′, 2′: 4, 5] ...
