A convenient route is reported for the synthesis of certain series of 4H-thieno[2,3-b][1]benzothiopyran-4-ones, carrying various substituents at position 2 such as arylazomethines (7,8), thiazolidin-4-ones (9-13), alpha, beta-unsaturated ketones (16,17), 2-pyridones (19-23), tetrahydrothiophen-4-ones (24,28), and nitroalkenes (29,30), as potential schistosomicidal or antihistaminic agents.
