Benzothiophene carboxamide derivatives of aminobenzophenone, aminopyridine, aminobenzimidazole, and aniline derivatives (compounds 1-9) were synthesized and compounds 3, 6, 7, 8, and 9 tested in vivo for their hypolipidemic activity. Compounds 1-8 were prepared adopting the fusion process at 130-150 degrees C between benzothiophene-2-carbonyl chloride and aminobenzophenones, aminopyridine, and ...

Production of renewable fuels from gasification is based on catalytic processes. Deep desulfurization required to avoid the poisoning catalysts. It means removal H2S but also organic sulfur species. Conventional cleaning consists a several-step complex approach comprising hydro-treating followed by removal. In this work, single-stage process using zinc and nickel oxide sorbent has been investig...

Dimeric benzothiophene-based palladacycles were synthesized from thioanisole-substituted perfluoroalkyl propargyl imines and palladium(II) salts via an intramolecular thiopalladation pathway. The treatment of benzothiophene-based palladacycles with an excess of phosphine ligands in benzene at room temperature selectively afforded trans-bis(phosphine) palladium complexes in good yields. The tran...

Ligand-free Pd(OAc)2 was found to catalyze very efficiently the direct C2-arylation of benzothiophene derivatives under low catalyst concentration. The reaction can be performed employing as little as 0.5-0.1 mol-% catalyst with electron-deficient and some electron-rich aryl bromides. The presence of a methyl or a formyl substituent at C3 of benzothiophene has a minor influence on the reactivit...

Two series of spiro[ [1]benzothiophene-3,2'-[1,3]thiazolidine]-2,4'-diones 5a-e and 6a-e were synthesized, characterized and evaluated for anticonvulsant activity. Reaction of [1]benzothiophene-2,3-dione (3) with certain arylamines afforded the corresponding Schiff bases 4a-e. Cyclization of 4a-e with thioglycolic or thiolactic acids brought about the target spiro compounds 5a-e and 6a-e respec...

Not a 'B'ore! Benzothiophene-based boronic acids catalyze the reduction of tertiary, secondary, and primary amides in the presence of a hydrosilane. The reaction demonstrates good functional-group tolerance.

An efficient base-catalyzed protocol for the synthesis of benzothiophene is described. The reaction proceeds via base-promoted propargyl-allenyl rearrangement followed by cyclization and allyl migration. Phosphine-substituted indoles can be synthesized by a similar strategy.

In this work, the desulfurization ability of alkyl-piperidinium-based and phosphonium-based ionic liquids (ILs) for (thiophene or benzothiophene + heptane) mixtures are studied. With this aim, ternary liquid-liquid phase equilibrium data (LLE) have been obtained for mixtures of {IL (1) + thiophene, or benzothiophene (2) + heptane (3)} at T = 308.15 K and p = 101.33 kPa. For this study 1-pentyl-...
