The present study points out the unconventional behaviour of thiophene ring bearing two leaving groups and a weak electron withdrawing moiety towards nucleophilic attack. The S N Ar using secondary amines shows an unexpected regioselectivity: the para-like adduct is produced as the major isomer for the first time. The influence of several reaction conditions on the selectivity observed is investigated.
