4,5,6,7-TETRAHYDRO-1-BENZOTHIOPHENE

It is an active pharmaceutical intermediate. Condensation of amino carboxyalkyl derivative of 4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzo[b]thiophene with salicylaldehyde yielded a potentially tridentate Schiff base (HSAT), which formed a series of copper(II) complexes. Reaction of ethyl 2-diazo-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzo[b]thiophene-3-carboxylate 1 with 3-iminobutyronitrile 2 gave the hydrazone derivative.
