Preparation of 2,3-disubstituted-4,5-dihydrothiophenes and thiophenes using the intramolecular non-classical Wittig reaction of thiolcarboxylates

Abstract
2-Ethoxycarbonylcyclopropyl(triphenyl)phosphonium fluoroborate 1 reacts with alkali-metal thiolates to give 2,3-disubstituted 4, 5-dihydrothiophenes 3 which can be aromatised to the corresponding thiophenes 5.
