Methylthio‐ and methylsulfonyl thiophenes were polymetallated by n ‐buthyllithium and superbase (LICKOR) in one‐step. 2 ‐(Methylthio)thiophene was bimetallated in 5 and in alpha to the methylthio sulfur atom by superbase. 3‐(Methylthio)thiophene was bimetallated in both 2 and 5 positions by the organolithium and trimetallated in these two positions and in alpha to the thioethereal sulfur atom by superbase. 3‐(Methylsulfonyl)thiophene was bimetallated in 2 and in alpha to the sulfonyl sulfur atom by the organolithium while the 2 ‐(methylsulfonyl)thiophene underwent degradation in the same conditions.
