In an attempt to make thiophenium ylides in which the ylide bond is part of a five-membered ring annulated to the α-side of the thiophene moiety, two alkoxycarbonyl substituted 2-(2-thienyl)phenylcarbenes have been made, with and without chlorine substituents in the remaining thiophene positions.With rhodium acetate as a catalyst the carbene without chlorines cyclized to the 3-position of the thiophene to give a fluorene analogue, whereas no cyclization was detected when the 3-position was blocked.
