Abstract

2-Thenylmagnesium chloride has been prepared and its reactions with carbon dioxide, ethyl'chlorocarbonate, acetyl chloride, acetic anhydride, formaldehyde and ethylene oxide have been shown to give 3-substituted-2-methylthiophenes by rearrangement. Only in the case of carbon dioxide has the normal product also been isolated.
