Abstract: A new method for arylation of thiophene by a radical generated during an aprotic diazotization of derivatives of diazoaminobenzene with isopentyl nitrite is described. This method served for preparation of substituted 2-(X-phenyl)thiophene derivatives, where X = H, 4-Br, 4-Cl, 3-CI, 4-СНз, 4-OCH₃ , 4 - NO₂ , 4-COOCH₃ . Arylation of benzene led to biphenyl. The relative reactivity of furan and thiophene has been established by arylation of a great excess of an equimolar mixture of furan and thiophene.
