Abstract
The title reagent, prepared by lithiation of 2-iodothiophene using lithium diisopropylamide, reacts with a range of electrophiles; the resulting 5-substituted 2-iodothiophenes undergo efficient Sonogashira alkyne coupling reactions, thereby providing an efficient route to 5-substituted 2-(1-alkynyl)-thiophenes and derivatives. Preliminary details of the scope of this sequence are described as is its application to the synthesis of 8,11-thioleukotriene B3 lithium salt.
