Heterocyclic Rings Thiophene
Importance Pyrantal 49, is a broad spectrum anthelmintic agent (طارد للديدان المعوية) effective against pinworm and hookworm Bioten50 (Vitamin H),, occurs in yeast and egg Thiophene also occurs in organic conducting polymers
Ring Synthesis The Pall Synthesis Lawesson's reagent can be used also in this synthesis.

Reactions of Thiophene Electrophilic Substitution Substitution takes place at the 2- position Reactivity pyrrole >> furan > thiophene > benzene Thiophene tends to undergo substitution rather than addition reactions and it is not so readily cleaved by acids as is furan.
