2-Aminothiophene derivatives are the key intermediates for the present synthesis. It is known that the synthesis of 2-aminothiophene is troublesome although it is a rather simple heterocycle. In this work, an early report was newly developed as a basis for the efficient synthesis of thiophene-ring-containing chromophorecomponents for photonicpolymers. 2-Amino-5-nitrothiophene and 2-amino-3,5-dinitrothiophene
