An improved synthesis of phenanthro[1,2‐ b ]thiophene ( 6 ) from 1‐chloro‐3,4‐dihydrophenanthrene‐2‐aldehyde ( 2 ) by condensation with thioglycolate followed by hydrolysis, decarboxylation and dehydrogenation is described. A new polycyclic thiophene derivative 14 has also been prepared from acenaphthothiophene ( 7 ) by Friedel‐Craft's reaction with phthalic anhydride followed by lactonisation of the keto carboxylic acid 9 and then reduction and finally cyclisation of the resultant aldehyde 13 .
