Abstract

Abstract A base-catalyzed condensation of diketo sulfides [(RCOCH 2) 2 S] with glyoxal affording 2, 5-diacylthiophenes has been effected under mild conditions. Excellent results were readily obtained when R was various substituted phenyl, thienyl, or t-butyl groups. Although the yield for R= methyl was poor, the increase in length of the aliphatic chain markedly increased the yields.
