Abstract: A group of 2-amino-3-aroyl-benzo?.beta.!thiophenes are prepared by treating an aldehyde with an anion of dimethylamino thioformamide, cyclizing the .alpha.-hydroxy thioamide, and subsequently acylating the benzo?.beta.!thiophene to yield the 2-amino-3-aryl derivative. These compounds may be treated with suitable phenyl Grignard reagents, and after deprotection, yield 6-hydroxy-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-3-?4-(2-peperidinoethoxy)benzoyl!benzo?.beta .!thiophene.
