Benzo[b]thiophene derivatives are important in part because of their use as selective estrogen receptor modulators. They are usually synthesized by intramolecular cyclization. Here, we propose a method for the synthesis of 2-arylbenzo[b]thiophenes with heteroatoms at the 3-positions directly from the benzo [b]thiophene core by using an aromatic nucleophilic substitution reaction and Heck-type coupling. This methodology provides 2-aryl-3-amino or phenoxybenzo[b]thiophenes in about 35% overall yield in 5 steps.
