ii) Thiophene can be synthesized by passing a mixture of acetylene and hydrogen sulfide through a tube containing alumina at 400°C. This method is commercially used. iii) Thiophene may also be prepared by heating sodium succinate with phosphorous trisulphide.
How do you prepare thiophene by Paal Knorr synthesis?
The Paal-Knorr Thiophene Synthesis allows the generation of thiophenes by condensation of a 1,4-dicarbonyl compound in the presence of an excess of a source of sulfur such as phosphorous pentasulfide or Lawesson's reagent. Attention: some toxic H2S is formed as a side product regardless of the sulfur source.
Where is thiophene found?
It occurs with benzene in coal tar, from which source it was first isolated in 1883. Today, thiophene is prepared commercially from butane or butene and sulfur or sulfur dioxide. Certain thiophene derivatives occur as plant pigments and other natural products.
