Abstract;Various ethyl 1-arylcarbonyl-3-[(un)substituted methylthio]thieno[3,4-b]indolizine-9-carboxylates were synthesized in good yields by a novel methodology in which the S-alkylation of 5-arylcarbonyl-4-ethoxycarbonylmethyl-3-(1-pyridinio)thiophene-2-thiolates with alkyl or benzyl halides, the 1,5-dipolar cyclization of the resulting pyridinium salts in the presence of a base, and the aromatization were performed. In the X-ray analyses of some 3-(benzylthio)thieno[3,4-b]indolizine-9-carboxylates, a gauche and two anti conformers in relation to the exocyclic sulfide linkage were found. Interestingly, all of the 3-(benzylthio)thieno[3,4-b]indolizine derivatives showed significant high-field shifts (.DELTA. up to 0.3 ppm) for the 5- and 6-proton signals compared with those of the 3-methylthio derivatives in the 1H-NMR spectra and exhibited a definite absorption band near 425 nm in their UV spectra, indicating an intramolecular arene-arene interaction between the thieno[3,4-b]indolizine and the phenyl ring.
