The ratio of isomeric σ-complexes formed, from thiophene, t-butyl chloride and AlCl3 was found to be changed while keeping at room temperature within 1–2 days. This allows to obtain after deprotonation 2-t-butylthiophene containing only 3% of 3-isomer. Transformations of σ-complexes formed by protonation of individual 2-and 3-t- butylthiophenes in the presence of AlCl3 have been studied and there was found that ...
