2,3‐Dimethyl, 3,4‐dimethyl and 2,3,5‐trimethylthiophene were synthesized and subjected to interaction with excited benzophenone. 2,3‐Dimethylthiophene affords an oxetane in good yield. These experiments were carried out in order to generalize this reaction which thus far has only been successful with 2,5‐dimethylthiophene.
