Abstract
A short, simple and expedient synthesis of substituted benzo[b]thiophenes involving directed ortho lithiation-side-chain deprotonation-cyclisation-reduction is described. This method is a valuable improvement over earlier syntheses of the same class of compounds, both with respect to the number of steps and overall yields.

10All the compounds reported in this paper showed correct elemental analysis and the structures were corroborated by characteristic spectroscopic data.
11Representative Procedure for Synthesis of Compound 2: Compound 1 (R1 = OMe, R2 = H, R3 = OMe, R4 = H) was added to a stirred mixture of sec- BuLi (1.1 equiv) and TMEDA (1.1 equiv) in THF at -78 °C. After 40 minutes the ortho lithiated species was quenched with dimethyldisulfide (2 equiv) at -78 °C. The reaction mixture was allowed to attain room temperature and was kept at that temperature for 10 hours. Usual aqueous work up afforded compound 2d. Yield: 84%; mp 80 °C (Ether-Petroleum ether); IR (KBr) = 1637.5 cm-1; 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δH: 6.4 (d, 1 H, J = 2 Hz), 6.27 (d, 1 H, J = 2 Hz), 3.78 (s, 3 H), 3.76 (s, 3 H), 3.24 (q, 4 H), 2.42 (s, 3 H), 1.13 (t, 6 H); 13C NMR (300MHz, CDCl3) δc: (167.15, 161.18, 157.13, 137.76, 119.75, 104.39, 96.09, 56.04, 55.83, 43.03, 39.14, 16.75, 14.22, 13.01.

13Representative Procedure for the Synthesis of Compound 4: To a solution of compound 3d in methanol and 10% NaOH (6:1), NaBH4 (2 equiv) in methanol and 10% NaOH solution (10:3) were added. This mixture was refluxed for 1 h on steam bath and then allowed to stand just under boiling condition for 12 h. Methanol was removed and the reaction mixture was acidified with 10% H2SO4 and extracted with ether. Usual aqueous work up and removal of solvent afforded compound 4d. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δH: 7.28 (d, 1 H, J = 5.49 Hz), 7.05 (d, 5.49), 6.82 (d, 1 H, J = 1.8 Hz), 6.31 (d, 1 H, J = 1.8), 3.81 (s, 3 H), 3.75 (s, 3 H); 13C NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δc: 159.23, 155.78, 142.5, 125.41, 122.25, 120.61, 96.62, 96.21, 56.06, 55.83.
