Abstract
Conclusions1.Opening of the thiophene ring in acetylamino-2-thiophenecarboxylic acids by the action of Na in liquid ammonia leads to salts of 4-acetylamino-5-mercaptoalkenoic acid. After alkylation and saponification these salts are converted to 5-alkylthio-4-ketoalkanoic acids.2.A preparative method has been developed for the synthesis of 5-alkylthio-4-ketoalka-noic acids by reductive cleavage of 4-nitro-2-thiophenecarboxylic acids.
