THIOPHENES Reactions with electrophiles at C Preferably at C-2 / C-5 (cf pyrroles) • -Protonation • Much more stable under acidic conditions than pyrroles and furans • Protonation at C-2 /C-5
Reactions with electrophiles at C • -Nitration • Not complete selectivity • Not HNO3 (explotions)
Reactions with electrophiles at C • -Halogenation • ca 108 times more reactive than PhH Chlorination Bromination Iodination
Reactions with electrophiles at C • -Acylation • (FC alkylation not good react) (strong Lewis acid, AlCl3, polym.) • -Condensation with carbonyl comps c.f.
Reactions with electrophiles at C • -Condensation with carbonyl comps, cont. • -Condensation with imines / iminium ions Mannich react. in case of pyrrol, Mannich reag. generated in situ Thiophene (and furan): Preformed reagent generally required
Reactions with electrophiles at Sulfur • Possible for thiophene; S in 3rd row • Not possible for furan / pyrrole; O and N in 2nd row • Probably sp3 S. tetrahedral • Works best for electron rich thiophenes

Pd cat. couplings Reat with radicals Seldom synthetically usefull Cycloadditions Easier with furan
