3-dibromothiophene was employed as the starting material. In the present article, a detailed DFT studyrelated to the mechanism (quinoline versus pyrrole formation) is reported which provides a rationalization of the selectivities observed for the furan, benzofuran, thiophene and benzothiophene series and for the different selectivities observed for electron-rich and -poor anilines.
MPHT-Promoted Bromocyclization of ortho-Substituted Arylalkynes: Application to the Synthesis of 2-Substituted 3-Bromobenzofurans and -Benzo[b]thiophenes
A convenient and general approach to the synthesis of 2‐substituted 3‐bromobenzofurans and ‐benzothiophenes was developed. The procedure is based on the cyclization of ortho‐substituted arylalkynes in the presence of N‐methylpyrrolidin‐2‐one hydrotribromide (MPHT) as a soft and easy‐to‐handle electrophilic brominating reagent. Under mild reaction conditions, MPHT promoted the bromocyclization of various
