Application of Flow Thermolysis in Organic Synthesis: Easy Access to α,ω-Bis Thienyl- and Bis Pyrrolyl- Alkanes from Methylene Derivatives of Meldrum's Acid

Abstract

Thermal decomposition of Meldrum's acid derivatives and rearrangement of (alkylsulfanyl) or (propargylamino)methylene ketene intermediates leads in one step to bis thienyl- or bis pyrrolyl-alkanes.
