Abstract
The acid catalyzed ring closure of an appropriately substituted phenyl ketoester sulfide served as the initial reaction in the synthesis of several 3,4- and 3,6-disubstituted benzo[b]thiophenes. One of these compounds, 4-methoxybenzo[b]thienyl-3-acetic acid, showed marked plant growth enhancement.
