A Simple Synthesis of 3,5- and 2,3,5-Alkyl- or -Aryl-Substituted Thiophenes α-Bromo- and α-chloroalkanones react readily with tert-butylmercaptan according to Lissel1 to give 2-(tert-butylthio)ketones. Reaction of these ketones with the 1-alkynylmagnesium halides derived from phenylacetylene or 1-hexyne affords unstable mixtures of stereoisomeric 2-(tert-butylthio)-1-(1-alkynyl)alkanols which, upon treatment with hot aqueous acid, give 3,5-di- or 2,3,5-trisubstituted thiophenes in overall yields from 36 to 90%.
