Dearomative [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction of nitrobenzothiophenes with nonstabilized azomethine ylides
A simple and efficient method for the synthesis of benzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-c]pyrroles via dearomative [3 + 2] 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of nitrobenzothiophenes with an in situ-generated nonstabilized azomethine ylides have been developed.
