Abstract

The first representative of thienyl-substituted 3H-azepines has been synthesized starting from dilithiated 2-methyl-5-propargylthiophene and isopropyl isothiocyanate. It was shown that N-(1-methylethylidene)-2-(5-methyl-2-thienyl)-1-(methylthio)-1,3-butadiene-1-amine (2-aza-1,3,5-triene) formed as a result of this reaction is readily converted into 2-methyl-6-(5-methyl-2-thienyl)-3H-azepine under the action of super bases.
