AbstractA series of thieno[3,4‐c]pyrrole‐4,6‐dione (TPD)‐based functional small molecules were efficiently synthesized through direct CH arylations using inexpensive copper salts. In this study, we examined all required reaction parameters including various copper complexes, ligands, bases, and (co)solvents. Under the optimum reaction conditions, the CH arylation proceeded smoothly and a variety of functional groups such as ester, nitrile, fluoride, chloride, triazene, and amine were tolerated. This method provides a step‐economical and relatively low‐cost synthetic alternative to presently used coupling reactions for the preparation of TPD‐containing π‐functional materials.magnified image
