Abstract

A simple monocyclic 8n electron thiepin, 2,7-di-tert-butyl-4-
-ethoxycarbonyl-5-methylthiepin (13) stabilized by two bulky tert-
-butyl groups at 2- and 7-positions, was synthesized from 2,6-di-
-tert-butyl-4-methylthiopyrylium tetrafluoroborate (11). In spite of
of its monocyclic thiepin structure, the compound 13 showed remarkable
thermal stability and had a half-life of 7.1 h at 130 °C.
Judging from the 1H-NMR spectrum, the thiepin 13 is considered
to be an atropic molecule.
Synthetic details of 11 and 13, and the chemical and physical
properties of 13 are also described.
