25. The use of other solvents in place of THF gave quite unsatisfactory results. Using 2-methyltetrahydrofuran as a solvent, 2-methyl-2-thienyltetrahydrofuran and 2-methyl-5-thienyltetrahydrofuran were obtained in 12% and 23% yields, respectively. The reaction in tetrahydropyran provided 2-thienyltetrahydropyran in only 18% yield under the same reaction conditions.
