Abstract
Fungicides having thiophene rings may be made from the intermediate compound 3-carbomethoxy-4,5-dimethylthiophene. That compound, and related compounds, may be produced by reacting an alpha mercaptoketone, e.g., 3-mercapto-2-butanone, with an acrylate, e.g., methyl-3-methoxy acrylate, in the presence of an alkoxide base, e.g., NaOMe, to form the substituted tetrahydrothiophene, followed by conversion to the aromatic thiophene with an acid treatment. The substituted tetrahydrothiophene is a novel compound.
