Abstract

Heteroatom directed ortho-metallation of 2-tert-butyldimethylsilyl-4-methoxybenzo [b] thiophene and 2-tert-butyldimethylsilyl-4-carbamoyloxybenzo [b] thiophene has been followed by quenching with electrophiles. Anionic ortho-Fries rearrangement has been carried out on 4-carbamoyloxybenzo [b] thiophene. The rearranged product has been used as the starting material in the synthesis of a novel linearly fused thienoisochromene.
