Abstract
Benzo[b]thiophene scaffolds form the backbone of many pharmaceutical products. Their uses in medicinal chemistry include antidepressants, anti-inflammatories, and anti-tumor among other possibilities. In the traditional multi-step synthesis, the product needs purification after each step1,2 . This can lead to increased chemical waste and loss of product. Further exploration into this field could yield more efficient synthesis, as well as create a foundation capable of being altered with different substituents for varied applications.
