Abstract

X-Ray crystallographic analysis of 2,5-his(diphenylmethylsilyl)thiophene monooxide revealed that the thiophene ring is not a planar structure and that the S-O bond is tilted ca. 14° out of the ring plane. The Diels-Alder reaction of 2,5-bis(trimethylsilyl)thiophene with dienophiles gave the adducts in high yields. The stereochemical courses for the reactions are exclusively endo-orientation and syn-direction with respect to the S-O bond. This stereochemistry agrees with the results obtained from RHF and MP2 MO calculations using the 6-31G(*) basis set.
