SYNTHESIS OF POLYFUSED THIENO(2,3-b)THIOPHENES PART 1: SYNTHESIS OF THIENOPYRIMIDINE DERIVATIVES

3,4-Diamino-2,5-dicarbethoxythieno(2.3-b)thiophene 1 reacted with malononitrile or ethyl cyanoacetate to afford bis(thienopyrimidin-4-one) derivatives 2a.b The reaction of compound 1 with o-aminothiophenol, o-aminophenol or o-phenylenediamine gave benzothiazolyl-, benzoxazolyl-, benzoimidazolylthienothiophene 3a-c, Chloroacetylation of compound 1 and reacting the resulting compound 4 with malononitrile furnished thienopyrolopyrimidine 6. Fusion of compound 1 with formamide yielded bis(thienopyrimidine) 7 which reacted with POCI3/PCl5 to yield the corresponding chloro derivative 8 which was converted into the corresponding hydrazine derivative 9. Treatment of compound 1 with CS2, NaOH and 1,2 dibromoethane produced the corresponding 1.3 dithiolane 11 which also treated with chloroacetyl chloride or ethyl mercaptoacetate to get the corresponding β-lactame 12 or thiazolidinone 13. On reacting compound 1 with CS2, NaOH and (CH3)2S04 produced the corresponding bi(dithiocarbamate methyl ester) 14 which...
