). [22][23] The vapor phase chlorination of nitrogenheterocycles has been reported. [22] The analogous vapor phase chlorination of thiophene 20 was carried out in the present study using a down flow quartz reactor tube heated with an electric furnace to high temperatures, and filled with an inert

antibiotics and thus this method offers a new and short route for the synthesis of tetramic acid derivatives of biological significance.
1. Background
Tetramic acid derivatives constitute an important class of nitrogenheterocycles with pyrrolidine-2,4-dione moieties and are key structural motifs in many
