A one-step synthesis of fused pentathiepins.
Treatment of nucleophilic heterocycles like pyrroles and thiophene, and their tetrahydro derivatives, with S2Cl2 and a base in chloroform at room temperature provides a simple one-pot synthesis of heterocyclic fused mono and bis pentathiepins such as 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, and 11.
