A Useful One-Pot Procedure for Obtaining 2-Aryl-5-nitrothiophenes from Bromonitromethane and 3-Aryl-3-chloro-propenals

A one-pot procedure was developed to prepare new 2-aryl-5-nitrothiophenes efficiently from bromonitromethane and 3-chloro-3-aryl-propenals. Nitrothiophenes were synthesized in good yields with a simple and easy workup procedure.
