Making use of temperature-controlled thiation as a key operation, a simple route to 2-aminothiophenes or thieno[2,3-c]isothiazoles has been newly developed wherein the 2-aminothiophene nucleus was formed through an initial formation of thioamide followed by a 5-exo-dig addition to the tethered alkyne; however, under harsher thermal conditions, excess sulfur-transferring reagents enabled further oxidative thiation to generate the corresponding thieno[2,3-c]isothiazoles.
