Product Name:6-Methoxybenzo(b)thiophene
CAS Number:90560-10-4
Molecular formula:C9H8OS
Molecular Weight:164.22

A solution of the crude 1- (2, 2-diethoxyethylsulfanyl)-3-methoxybenzene (8.27 g, 32.3 mmol) in hexane (100 ml) was added dropwise to a solution of methanesulfonic acid (1.05 mL, 1.55 g, 16.1 mmol) in hexane (1000 mL) containing 16.5 g of celite (2 wt. eq.). The resultant solution was heated at reflux for 1 hour. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction was quenched by the addition of Et3N (4.5 ml, 3.26 g, 32.3 mmol. The crude reaction mixture was filtered and then concentrated in vacuo. 6-Methoxybenzo(b)thiophene was obtained after purification.

1a.B Example (1a): 6-methoxybenzo[b]thiophene; Method B

Method B: A solution of the crude 1- (2, 2-diethoxyethylsulfanyl)-3-methoxybenzene (8.27 g, 32.3 mmole) in hexane (100 ml) was added, dropwise, to a solution of [METHANESULFONIC] acid (1.05 [ML,] 1.55 g, 16.1 mmole) in hexane (1000 [ML)] containing 16.5 [G] of celite (2 wt. eq. ). The resultant solution was heated at reflux for one hour. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction was quenched by addition of Et3N (4.5 ml, 3.26 g, 32.3 [MMOLE).] The crude reaction mixture was filtered and the filtrate was concentrated, in vacuo, to give a red oil which was purified by silica gel chromatography. Elution with hexane: [ET20] (98: 2) and evaporation of the appropriate fractions gave 3.35 g (63%) of a [COLORLESS OIL.'H] NMR [(DMSO-D6)] 8 7.74 [(1 H,] d, [J=8. 7HZ),] 7.56 [(1 H,] d, [J = 2. 3 HZ),] 7.52 [(1 H,] d, [J=5. 3HZ),] 7.33 (1 H, d, J = 5.3Hz), 6.99 (1 H, dd, J = 2.3, 8.7 Hz), 3.81 (3H, s).
