Abstract

Phosphine-assisted annulation of thiophene-2,3-dicarbaldehyde with N-substituted maleimides provided the N-substituted benzo[b]thiophene-5,6-dicarboximides in good to high yields. Introduction of cyano and aryl groups to the thiophene moiety of the N-cyclohexyl product was achieved by metal-catalyzed coupling reactions via its bromo derivative. Photophysical properties of the products were also reported.

[15] For examples, an emission quantum yield of N-ethylnaphthlene-2,3-dicarboximide, corresponding to 6b, in chloroform is 0.37 and that of N-phenylnaphthalene- 2,3-dicarboximide, corresponding to 6d, is 0.10.
[16] The low quantum yields of 6e and 6f are ascribed also to a heavy atom effect of the bromine and iodine atoms.

[18] Although Lemaire et al. reported cyanation of 3-bromobenzo[b]thiophene with CuCN in N,N-dimthylacetamide in ref 9, cyanation of 12 under the similar conditions yielded 13 in low yield.

[22] Although the 13C NMR spectrum of 20b in CDCl3 shows only 19 signals, which are short for the structure of 20b, the spectrum in CD2Cl2 indicates 20 signals enough for the structure of 20b.
