Abstract

Benzo[b]thiophenes are prepared by intramolecular Pd(0)-catalyzed Heck reaction of allyl o-iodophenyl sulfides. Pd(0)-Catalyzed intramolecular cyclization of o-iodophenyl propargyl sulfide in the presence of a hydride donor gives 3-methylene-2,3-dihydrobenzo[b]thiophene, which reacts with several enophiles in ene type reactions. However, allyl (and propargyl) aryl sulfides react with palladium(II) chloride to afford polymeric [PdCl(SAr)]2. © 1993.
