Making Benzotrithiophene a Stronger Electron Donor
摘要:
A new member of the benzotrithiophene family, benzo[2,1-b:-3,44:5,6-c '']trithiophene (3a), and its alkyl substituted derivatives (3b-e) were synthesized and characterized. Their photophyscial, electrochemical, crystallographic, and self-assembly properties were described. Thin film structures varied widely with the exact nature of the alkyl substitution pattern, with decreasing self-assembly propensity with increasing alkyl chain length. The high HOMO levels and the coplanarity of these molecules show their potential as organic semiconductors and as donor components in donor-acceptor copolymers.

catalyst and the subsequent oxidative ring-closing reactions led to target compounds in moderate to good yields. A series of benzo[1,2-b:6,5-b′:3,4-c′′]trithiophenes were synthesized in four steps startingfrom thiophene. Thiophene was converted into 2,5-dialkylthiophenes upon dilithiation followed by treatment with various alkyl halides. The reaction of 2,5-dialkylthiophenes with Br2 easily afforded the
摘要 从噻吩开始,分四个步骤合成了一系列苯并[1,2- b:6,5- b ':3,4- c '']三噻吩。二苯甲酸酯化后,噻吩转化为2,5-二烷基噻吩,然后用各种烷基卤化物处理。2,5-二烷基噻吩与Br 2的反应容易得到相应的2,5-二烷基-3,4-二溴噻吩。它们在Pd催化剂存在下与3-三丁基丁基噻吩的偶合反应和随后的氧化性闭环反应导致目标化合物以中等至良好的产率收率。 从噻吩开始,分四个步骤合成了一系列苯并[1,2- b:6,5- b ':3,4- c '']三噻吩。二苯甲酸酯化后,噻吩转化为2,5-二烷基噻吩,然后用各种烷基卤化物处理。2,5-二烷基噻吩与Br 2的反应容易得到相应的2,5-二烷基-3,4-二溴噻吩。它们在Pd催化剂存在下与3-三丁基丁基噻吩的偶合反应和随后的氧化性闭环反应导致目标化合物以中等至良好的产率收率。
