摘要:
Non-conjugated thienyl tetrayne derivatives 1-3 are prepared as novel building block for the construction of indenothiophenone derivatives. Oxidation of 1-3, followed by cycloaromatization of the corresponding ketone derivatives 13-15 proceeds smoothly to afford indenothiophenone derivatives 16-21 in good yields. (C) 2005 Elsevier Ltd.
