Abstract
The effect of the concentration of the acidic component on the rates of recyclization of 2,5-dialkylfurans to thiophenes and selenophenes was studied. On the basis of the direct correlation of log k on (Ho)I and the isotope effect of the solvent it was established that the reaction proceeds via a mechanism of specific acid catalysis. It was shown that the rates of the reactions with the participation of hydrogen sulfide and hydrogen selenide coincide at equal acidities and temperatures. A scheme for the mechanism of the reaction that includes a step involving the formation of the doubly protonated form of the substrate is proposed.
