OtherCpds =thiophene indole benzofuran Benzothiophene is an
aromatic organic compound with a molecular formula C8H6S and an odor similar tonaphthalene (mothballs). It occurs naturally as a constituent of petroleum-related deposits such aslignite tar. Benzothiophene has no household use. It is used primarily in industry and research.Being a
heterocyclic compound, benzothiophene finds use in research as a starting material for the synthesis of larger, usually bioactive structures. It is found within the chemical structures of pharmaceutical drugs such asraloxifene ,zileuton , andsertaconazole . It is also used in the manufacturing of dyes such as thioindigo.Its aromaticity makes it relatively stable, although as a heterocycle, it has reactive sites which allow for functionalization.
