Procedure

Heterocycles can also be easily included in the copolymer chain. The literature records the preparation of an insoluble cyano-substituted alternating polymer derived from thiophene-2,5-diacetonitrile and thiophene-2,5-dicarboxaldehyde (Kossmehl, G. Ber. Bunsenges. Phys. Chem., 1979, 83, 417) and copolymers based on the thiophene-2,5-dicarboxaldehyde and 2,5-dimethoxyterephthaldehyde (H. Horhold, Z. Chem., 1972, 12). The bischloromethylation of 3-dodecylthiophene gave the unstable product (17), which was immediately treated with cyanide to give the bisnitrile (18). Alternatively, the bis-aldehyde (19) can be synthesized from (17) in 3 steps in an analogous fashion to before. Condensation of (18) with (7) gave a purple polymer (onset of absorbance of 670 nm).
