Thiophene???

[zealot]

Sirs, all of you heard about tiletamine and as it make too know, but there is one nuance, - how to make itself  thiophene. Is there anybody know a pair - three methods?

For it in general prepare from disodium succinate  and P4S7. Refers to as Volhard-Erdmann cyclization.

Who may find the following references?
It is very necessary.

Many thanks Rhodium, but it is necessary to me of 4 litres. And reception such amount  of thiophene of these methods will cost to me more expensively, than its purchase. The yeld too small.

That is usually the case with small organic molecules, as you probably know. I doubt you can synthesize tiophene cheaper than buying it from standard suppliers. 5000g is €300 from Acros, but only €175 from Aldrich, so it pays to shop around. If you bother to go through what they are able to supply from Asia (see

for a rough guide), then you can find it even cheaper.
