Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds Aims and scope

Abstract

We have used the MNDO approximation to carry out a quantum-chemical study showing that the selectivity of acylation of 2-methyl-4H-thieno[3,2-b]pyrrole-5-carboxylic acid methyl ester under Friedel—Crafts reaction conditions in the presence of AlCl3 depends more on the electron density distribution in the complexes than on the structure parameters.
