Efficient access to 2-aryl-3-substituted benzo[b]thiophenes

[reaction: see text] Benzo[b]thiophene derivatives are important in part because of their use as selective estrogen receptor modulators. They are usually synthesized by intramolecular cyclization. Here, we propose a method for the synthesis of 2-arylbenzo[b]thiophenes with heteroatoms at the 3-positions directly from the benzo[b]thiophene core by using an aromatic nucleophilic substitution reaction and Heck-type coupling. This methodology provides 2-aryl-3-amino or phenoxybenzo[b]thiophenes in about 35% overall yield in 5 steps.

The synthesis of three new classes of heteroarenes, built through the sequential fusion of naphthalene, benzo/naphtho[b]oxepine and thiochromene rings with pyran and pyrimidine ring systems to give 'U and Z' shaped structural frameworks is reported. The methodology is based on the synthesis of pyran fused intermediates, 1-methylthio-3-oxo-5,6-dihydro-3H-benzo[f]chromene-2-carbonitrile (3), 4-methylthio-2-oxo-5,6-dihydro-2H-benzo/naphtho[b]pyrano[2,3-d]oxepine-3-carbonitriles (10, 20) and 4-methylthio-2-oxo-2,5-dihydrothiochromeno[4,3-b]pyran-3-carbonitriles (15) from the reaction of 2-tetralone, benzo/naphtho[b]oxepin-5-ones and thiochromen-4-ones with methyl 2-cyano-3,3-dimethylthioacrylate respectively. Further condensation of intermediates 3, 10, 20 and 15 with amidines led to the formation of tetracyclic 'U' shaped 4-amino-2-aryl-7,8-dihydro-5-oxo-5H-naphtho[2,1-b]pyrimido[4,5-d]pyrans (8) and 'Z' shaped 4-amino-2-aryl-5-oxo-12,13-dihydro-5H-benzo/naphtho[b]oxepino[5,4-b]pyrimido[4,5-d]pyrans (12, 22) and 4-amino-2-aryl-5-oxo-5,12-dihydrothiochromeno[4,3-b]pyrimido[4,5-d]pyrans (17). Compound 12f forms a chain of dimers through N-HO interactions as indicated by the X-ray structure analysis, and the quantum chemical calculations performed at the MP2 level indicate that this interaction energy is 10 kJ mol(-1).
