Abstract

This microreview provides insight on the selected methods of thiophene synthesis starting from 1,4-dithiane-2,5-diol including K2CO3- and DABCO-catalyzed reactions, cyclopropane-based reactions, heterocyclization of alkynones, tandem Michael – intramolecular Henry reaction, Gewald reaction and thiophene ring construction as a part of fused and polycyclic structures. Microreview covers literature from 2010 to 2017.
