The Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds
Introduction to the Series
The chemistry of heterocyclic compounds constitutes one of the broadest and most complex branches of chemistry. The diversity of synthetic methods utilized in this field, coupled with the immense physiological and industrial significance of heterocycles, combine to make the general heterocyclic arena of central importance to organic chemistry.
The Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds, published since 1950 under the initial editorship of Arnold Weissberger, and later, until Dr. Weissberger’s death in 1984, under our joint editorship, has attempted to make the extra ordinarily complex and diverse field of heterocyclic chemistry as organized and readily accessible as possible. Each volume has dealt with syntheses, reactions, proper- ties, structure, physical chemistry and utility of compounds belonging to a specific ring system or class (e.g., pyridines, thiophenes, pyrimidines, three- membered ring systems). This series has become the basic reference collection for information on heterocyclic compounds.
Many broader aspects of heterocyclic chemistry are recognized as disciplines of general significance that impinge on almost all aspects of modern organic and medicinal chemistry, and for this reason we initiated several years ago a parallel series entitled General Heterocyclic Chemistry, which treated such topics as nuclear magnetic resonance, mass spectra, and photochemistry of heterocyclic compounds, the utility of heterocyclic compounds in organic synthesis, and the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds by means of I ,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions. These volumes werc intcnded to be of intercst to all organic and medicinal chemists, as well as to those whose particular concern is heterocyclic chemistry.
I t has become increasingly clear that this arbitrary distinction created as many problems as it solves, and we have therefore elected to discontinue the more recently initiated series General Heterocyclic Chemistry, and to publish all forthcoming volumes in the general area of heterocyclic chemistry in The Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds series.

In 1952, in the first volume of The Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds, Howard D. Hartough described the state of research on the chemistry of thiophene and its derivatives up to 1950. Selenophene and tellurophene were also included in this monograph, which, except for two chapters, was written by Hartough alone. When this book was written, the explosive development triggered by the commercial process for thiophene from butane and sulfur, developed by Socony-Vacuum Oil Company in the 194Os, had just begun. The enormous amount of work carried out on this important aromatic five-mem- bered heterocycle since 1950 makes i t of course impossible for one person to cover all aspects, and an able group of specialists were assembled from all over the world to treat the entire field. This makes some minor overlaps between chapters unavoidable, but I think it is important to treat some topics from different angles of approach.
Because of the wealth of results and the rather large number of contributors, these volumes are not as strictly organized as some previous volumes in this series, but can be considered as a collection of topics on thiophene chemistry. Together, however, it is my hope that these chapters give as comprehensive a description as possible of the chemistry of thiophene and its monocyclic derivatives, based on the literature from 1950 up to the end of the 1980s. References to previous results, treated in Hartough’s book, are also given when necessary.
The chapters fall in two categories: (1) those that treat syntheses, properties, and reactions of thiophenes; and (2) those that systematically treat function- alized simple thiophenes, such as alkylthiophenes, halothiophenes, aminothio- phenes, thiophenecarboxylic acids, and so on. The latter chapters, as is custorn- ary in the Taylor-Weissberger series, contain tables of compounds with their physical properties which should be very useful for all synthetic chemists. Part 1 of these volumes contains only chapters in category 1 and starts with a treatise on the preparation of thiophenes by ring-closure reactions and from other ring systems. It is followed by a chapter on theoretical calculations. Then, in two chapters, naturally occurring thiophenes in plants and in petroleum, shale oil, and coals are treated. The topic of the next chapter is the important field of pharmacologically active compounds. The synthetic uses of thiophene derivat- ives for the synthesis of aliphatic compounds by desulfurization follow. Two chapters treat thiophenes modified at sulfur, namely, thiophene- 1,l -dioxides and thiophene-I-oxides, and S-alkylation of thiophenes. In the last three chapters, the discussion on different reactivities of thiophenes starts with radical reactions of thiophenes, cycloaddition reactions, and photochemical reactions.

X Preface
Part 2 of this five-part volume begins with a treatment of the important field of electrophilic aromatic substitution of thiophenes, followed by systematic treatment of four classes of functionalized thiophenes, namely, the alkyl-, halo-, nitro-, and aminothiophenes.
The first two chapters of Part 3 of this volume treat the chemistry of thiophene derivatives containing thiophene-to-oxygen bonds and thiophene-to- sulfur bonds, respectively, and the remaining chapters cover formyl and acyl derivatives of thiophene, thiophenecarboxylic acids, and thienyl derivatives.
In Part 4, an extensive treatment of physical properties of thiophenes is given. The second chapter deals with the important nucleophilic substitutions of thiophenes, and in the third chapter the many important results in the expand- ing field of biologically active thiophenes, obtained during 1983- 1988, are summarized.
Finally, in Part 5, vinyl thiophenes and thienyl acetylenes will be treated. A second chapter will cover thienyllithium and other organometallic derivatives of thiophene, and in the last chapter, bithienyls will be covered.
I wish to thank all the distinguished scientists who contributed chapters to these volumes for their splendid cooperation, and my secretary Ann Nordlund for her invaluable help. I am also indebted to Dr. Robert E. Carter for correcting my chapters and those of some of the other authors whose native tongue is not English.

I. THERMODYNAMICS AND THERMOCHEMISTRY OF THIOPHENES
Vapor pressures and second virial coefficients for thiophene, 2- and 3- methylthiophene, 2,5-dimethylthiophene, 2-etylthiophene, and 2-chlorothio- phene were measured by an isoteniscopic method in the temperature range 60 100 C.’ The low vapor pressure of thiophene over solid thiophene at - 80’C was measured with a special appara t~s . ’ .~ Vapor pressure-temperature
relationships have been determined for thiophene and 2- and 3-methylthio- ~ h e n e . ~ The vapor pressurc of 2-thiophenecarboxylic acid has been determined by a Knudsen effusion method over the temperature range 41.8-50°C. The lattice energy was 23.17 kcal/mol and the entropy of evaporation 48.71 cal/deg/ moL5 The critical temperature of thiophene has been determined by the sealed- tube method to be 579.4 K.6 Measurements have been reported on the inter- diffusion coefficients of thiophene in binary systems with hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen. Collision diameters were evaluated from the viscosity of the vapors.’ The variation of the coefficient of self-diffusion in thiophene with temperature was studied using a spin-echo spectrometer.8
The thermodynamic and thermochemical data of thiophene have been studied in great detail at the Thermodynamics Laboratory of the Bureau of Mines. The heat capacity of thiophene was measured over the temperature range 1 1 340 K. The solid had two A-type transitions at approximately 112 and 138 K, an isothermal transition at 171.6 K, and a short region of anomalously high heat capacity on the high-temperature side of the latter transition. The heat of transition ( 1 52.4 cal/mol), heat of fusion (121 5.5 cal/mol), and the triple point (234.95 K) were obtained. The vapor pressure of thiophene was measured over the tempcrature range &120C, and the following equation was found to fit the data log,,P (mm) = 6.95926-1246.038/(221.354 + t ) . The normal boiling point was determined to be 84.16C. The heat vaporization of thiophene was meas- ured at three different temperatures, and the values found were 8032, 7808, and 7522 calimol at 45.36, 63.08, and 84.16”C, respectively. The heat capacity of

thiophene vapor was measured at five different temperatures in the range 343472 K. The experimental values for Ci, the heat capacity in the ideal-gas state, may be represented by equation Cp = - 7.017 + 0.10045T- 6.325 x 10-'TZ. An equation for the second virial coefficient B in the equation of
state P V = RT + BP, was obtained from thermal data. The equation is B (liters) = - 0.435 0.0172 exp(1200/T). The entropy of liquid thiophene at 298.16 K is
43.30 f O.lOcal/deg/mol. The entropy of the ideal gas at the normal boiling point (357.32 K) and 1 atmosphere pressure is 70.04 + 0.20 cal/deg/m01.~
The heat of combustion of thiophene was determined. For the reaction C,H,S (I) + 13/20, (g ) + 0.7H,O = 4C0, (g) + H2SO4, 1.7H,O at 298.16 K, A H , = - 667.19 kcal/mol. The heat of formation of liquid thiophene is 19.52 kcal/mol, and the heat of formation of the gas is 27.82 kcal/mol, both at 298.16 K.9 Later determinations of the heat of combustion gave - 676.09 kcal/mol" and heat of formation of 19.13 +_ 0.15 kcal/mol,' which
was later corrected to 19.35 & 0.15 kcal/mol at 25°C" and 19.20 k 0.239 kcal/ mol." For some other determination of the heat of combustions, see Refs. 13 and 14.
From the heat combustion and from values of thermochemical bond energies a resonance energy of 20 kcal/mol was calculated for thiophene."
Various thermodynamic properties of 3-methylthiophene in the solid, liquid, and vapor states have been determined between 12 and 473 K. The entropy of the liquid at 298.16 K, 52.18 k 0.10 cal/deg/mol, was calculated from measured values of the heat capacity of the liquid and the heat of fusion (2518 cal/mol) at the triple point, 204.19 & 0.05 K.
Experimental results obtained for the heat capacity of the liquid (Csafd), the heat of vaporization (AH"), the heat capacity in the ideal gaseous state (C;), and the second virial coefficient [B = (PV - R T / P ) ] are represented by the empir- ical equations:

From determinations of the heat of combustion, the standard heat of formation [AH," (liq)] of 3-methylthiophene from graphite, hydrogen, and rhombic sulfur was found to be 10.49 k 0.20 kcal/mol at 298.16 K. Calorimetic, spectroscopic, and molecular structure data were used to compute the functions ( F O - H g ) / T) , (Ha - HG), S" , and C i at selected temperatures between 0 and IOOOK. The height of the barrier to internal rotation ( - 600 cai/mol) was evaluated from the experimental entropy and vapor heat capacity data. Values of AH,", AF,", and logloKf for the formation of 3-methylthiophene in the ideal-gas state from

For 2-methylthiophene, the following thermodynamic data were obtained. Values of the heat capacity for the solid and liquid [Cut,, = 45.85 - 0.1754T+ 6.772 x 10-4T2 - 6.771 x 10-7T3cal/deg/mol(213-344K)], and

(10-340 K) were computed and the same chemical thermodynamic properties as for 3-rnethylthiophene were calculated.'
Conjugation energies in thiophene were estimated with the aid of bond energy terms and the calculated heats of formation of thiophene and 2- and 3-methylthiophene compared with the experimental values."
The heat capacities of both the stable crystalline form (T , = 210.55 K, AH,,, = 1958 cal/mol) and a metastable form (TM = 204.87 K, AH,,, = I769 cal/mol) of 2,5-dimethylthiophene were determined by adiabatic calori-
metry. The derived thermodynamic properties of the liquid at 298.15 K are 42.62, 58.49, and 27.91 cal/mol K for the heat capacity (Cp), entropy (So), and Gibbs energy function (- [Go - H;]/T), r e s p ~ c t i v e l y .

Several ternary systems have also been investigated. The systems benzene-thiophene-N,N-dimethylformamide and benzene-thiophene-l- methylpyrrolidone were studied under isobaric conditions (760 mm Hg) by the Gillespie method.47 Isobaric studies have also been carried out on the binary system formed by thiophene and benzene with light alcohols.54 A number of ternary systems containing thiophene has been investigated by Francis.55. 56.58-61 Calculation and study of vapor-liquid equilibria5’ in the benzene-thiophene-heptane6’ and ethanol-ben~ene-thiophene~~ ternary sys- tems have been carried out. Phase equilibria for the ternary system n- heptane- thiophene-liquid ammonia have been determined at ternperaturcs of 0 and 20°C. A new method has been proposed that correlates tie-line data in such a manner that a straight line is obtained for most systems, including solutropic systems.64
The relative volatilities of benzene-thiophene6’ and of toluene-methyl- thiophene mixtures66 in the presence of polar solvents has been investigated. Critical properties and vapor pressure of thiophene have been de te r~n ined .~~
The liquid vapor equilibrium was studied by the distillation of dilute solu- tions of thiophene in carbon tetrachloride in trichloroethylene and benzene. For highly effective columns ( - I 0 0 theoretical plates) the best testing solution was thiophene in carbon tetrachloride.68 Other workers have suggested the use of dilute solutions of thiophene in benzene as test mixtures in fractional distil- lation” also (see Ref. 69). The vapor pressure and molar volume of thiophene as a function of temperature have been measured and the cohesion energy dis- c ~ s s e d . ~ ’ The temperature -molar volume relationships for polar solvents and thiophene have been studied.70 Distribution coefficients of dilute solutions of thiophene in trichloroethylene and benzene were determined using 35S and I4C as radioactive indicators. The distribution coefficients were constant and the solutions obeyed Henry’s law.50

showed that the Van Laar equation can be used for the calculation of the activity coefficient of these system^.^' A comparative study of the solubility of thiophene and benzene in the dimethylsulfoxide-octane system has been under- taken.72 The solubility of some thiophenes in 24 organic solvents was studied by determination of the critical dissolution temperature^.^^ The slightly mutual solubilities in water -benzene and water-thiophene systems at 30°C were invest- igated by measurements of differential refractive indexes.74 The solubility of hydrogen chloride in thiophene has been mea~ured.~'
Freezing-point depressions have been measured for very dilute solutions of thiophene in benzene. Thiophene was found to pack in the benzene crystals with a small volume defect, as indicated by the collision areas (16.7 x 10- '6cm2 obtained from viscosity of vapors) and parachor (187.4). The slightly larger volume occupied by thiophene (124.5 x cm3) than benzene ( 1 17.75 x cm3) in its own crystal lattice was attributed to differences of crystal s t r ~ c t u r e . ~ ~
Solid-liquid-phase diagrams have been obtained for thiophene-fluoro- benzene, giving a molecular compound at composition 1 : Phase equilibria have also been determined for the binary systems of thiophene with benzene,78 m-xylene, ethylbenzene, cyclohexane, pyridine, and d i ~ x a n e . ~ ~ The solid- phase-melt distribution coefficient for a benzene- thiophene mixture in the low thiophene concentration region has been studied." It has been shown that mixed melting-point determinations between isomeric thiophenes are not more unreliable than in other series, as stated previously." The condensed-phase equilibrium for triphenylmethane and thiophene was studied, and a 1 : 1 complex, dissociated at 56 'C, was observed.82 Cryoscopic data have been presented for solutions of thiophene containing 0.5-1 8 mol% of n-, iso-, sec,- and ~ert-butanol."~
In connection with studies on the quasiracemate method, the melting-point diagrams for mixtures of the (+) and ( - ) forms of a-methoxypenylacetic acid, a-methoxy-2-thienylacetic acid, and a-methoxy-3-thienylacetic acid have been determined.84 The formation and crystallization of thiophene as a glass have been studied.85
111. DIPOLE MOMENTS AND RELATED PROPERTIES OF THIOPHENES
1. Dipole Moments
Dipole moments of a large number of relatively simple thiophene derivatives have been measured, especially by Russian and French workers. The dipole moments were used in connection with estimations of electron- distribution and substituent effects in thiophenes, and for confirmation of molecular orbital (MO) calculations. However, their most important use has been in connection
8 Physical Properties of Thiophene Derivatives
with conformational analysis of carbonyl-substituted thiophenes and bihetero- cyclic derivatives.
Most of the electrical dipole moments were measured in benzene solution by using the well-known Debye refractivity method, and the method of Halverstadt and KumlerS6 was used to calculate the dipole moments. Dielectric constants were usually measured with a heterodyne beat apparatus.
The measured dipole moments of thiophene in different solvents are given in Table 1, and those of substituted derivatives are collected in Tables 1-9. Quite different values have been obtained for the same compound by different groups, which can be due only partly to variations in the method of calculation.
From the microwave spectra of thiophene and 3-methylthiophene, dipole moments of 0.533 k 0.005 D87*88 and It 0.914 D were ~bta ined . '~
With regard to the direction of the dipole moment of thiophene, there has been some confusion, as some textbooks reported that the dipole moment of thiophene, as well as those of furan and pyrrole, is directed from the positive heteroatom toward the C ( 3 t C (4) b ~ n d . ~ ' - ~ * However, Marinog3 and Lien and Kumler9* presented evidence based on reactivity data, theoretical calculation, and dipole moment values of substituted thiophenes, that the dipole moments of both thiophene and furan are directed from the ring (positive pole) to the heteroatom (negative pole). This was confirmed by studying the orientational influence of dipolar solutes on the aromatic solvents benzene and hexa- fluorobenzene as reflected by NMR chemical shiftsg5 The same technique has also been used to show that the negative end of the dipoles of selenophene and tellurophene are directed toward the heteroatom.96
The experimental dipole moments of substituted thiophenes were compared with electric moment values calculated on the basis of vector addition using the group moment values obtained in the corresponding benzene derivatives, and

In the same way, the preferential conformers of the various diformyl- thiophenes,lo6- ' ' 2,5-diphenyliminomethylthiophene~,~ O6 and iodinated for- my1 thiopheneslo5 were determined.
