| Abstract: | Benzo[b]thiophene-2,3-diones ( 1 ) react with Grignard reagents to yield 2,3-dihydroxy-2,3-diaryl(aralkyl)benzo[b]-thiophenes ( 2 ). The latter compounds yield 3,3-diaryl(aralkyl)-benzo[b]thiophene-2-ones ( 3 ) by pinacolone rearrangement. Treatment of 3 by hot ethanolic sodium hydroxide solution yields the corresponding carboxylic acids by hydrolytic heteroring opening. |
