More research is needed about 6-Methylbenzo[b]thiophene

In heterogeneous catalysis, catalysts provide a surface to which reactants bind in a process of adsorption. The reactant in an enzyme-catalyzed reaction is called a substrate. SDS of cas: 16587-47-6, C9H8S. A document type is Article, introducing its new discovery., SDS of cas: 16587-47-6

Benzothiophenes are formed with yields of more than 77percent in a single preparative stage during the gas-phase reaction of halogenoarenes with hydrogen sulfide and acetylene (600-700 deg C).It is suggested that arylthiyl radicals (ArS-radical), which are effectively captured by the acetylene, participate in the process.The effect of the structure of the halogenoarene on the selectivity of the process is discussed.The gas-phase reaction of 2-chlorothiophene with hydrogen sulfide in the presence of acetylene leads to the formation of thieno<2,3-b>thiophene.
