Thiophene

1
Thiophene 1 1,4 dicarbonyl compound with a
source of sulphur
2
2 The Hinsberg Synthesis The consecutive aldol
condensation between a 1,2 dicarbonyl compound
and diethylthiodiacetate give thiophenes .The
immediate product is an ester acid produced by
a stobbe type mechanism , but the reaction are
often worked up via hydrolysis to offord an
isolated diacid
3
Chemical Reaction Reaction with electrophilic
reagent take place at position 2 3 but at 2
take place much faster yield a stable product
. Nitration
Sulphonation
Use of the pyridine sulfur trioxide complex is
probably the best method
4
Halogenation
Halogenation of thiophene occurs very readily at
room temperatures and is rapid even at 30 cº in
the dark.
5
Acylation
The Friedel crafts acyalation of thiophene is
much used reaction and produced generally to
give good yield under controlled condition ,
adding catalyst to thiophene and acylatting agent
avoid reaction of aluminium chloride with
thiophene to generate tars

Reactivity of indoles, benzobthiophenes,
benzobfurans. isoindoles, benzocthiophenes
and isobenzofurans

Indoles Indoles are colourless crystalline solids
.Many simple indoles are available commercially
and all of these are produced by synthesis .Most
indoles are stable in air with exception of those
which carry simple alkyl group at c 2
autoxidises easily even in dark brown
bottle. The word indoles derived from the word
India blue dye. chemical degradation of the dye
give rise oxygenated indoles .which named indoxyl
and oxindole indol as first prepared in 1866 by
zinc dust distillation of oxindole
8
Indoles are widely distributed in nature
Tryptophen is an essential amino acid
The formula of indole was proposed by Baeyer in
1869 and was based on the synthesis outlined
9
The resonance energy of indole calculated from
its heat of combustion is (47 49 ) kcal / mol
the increase in resonance energy over pyrrole (23
27 ) is almost identical to the difference
between the resonance energies of naphthalene
(61) and benzene (36)
10
Chemical properties The chemical properties of
indole are quite similar of these of pyrrole 1
The direct oxidation of indole .PhC2 O OH O3 ,
H2ONHRR'CORNHCOR'PhCO2OHO3 , H2ONHCOHNHCOH The
nitrogen containing ring of many substituted
indoles can be opened by the action of peroxy
acid and ozone .

2 Addition reaction Indole , like pyrrole is
very weak base and it is polymerized by acid
giving crystalline dimmer

4 Subistitution reactions the hydrogen at
position 1 of indole is acidic and can be
displaced by metallic sodium or pot . hydroxide
at 125 130 c or by Grignard reagent
13
Electrophilic subistitution
attack is more stable at position 3
14
Electrophilic subistitution reaction
NHEHH..NHEH..NHEHmore stablearomatic sextet
preserved attack at position 2 The pyrrole ring
in the indoles readily undergo subistitution
reactions .The general Pattern of reaction is
similar to that observed with Pyrrole itself
except that many of reaction with indole
introduce 3 Subistituents , lead to
3-subistituted indoles .This orientation can be
accounted as follows
15
This orientation agreement with the calculated
change destant for indole

with formaldehyde and dimethyl amine to give 3
