2-(Tri-n-butylstannyl)thiophene → HCID 22996756, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

1,4,5,8-Tetramethoxy-2,6-dibromonaphthalene (7.80 g., 0.019 mol.) and 2-(tributylstannyl)thiophene (18.00 g., 0.048 mol.) were dissolved in 200 mL dry toluene under argon atmosphere. Pd(PPh3)4 (100 mg.) was introduced into the reaction flask using a Schlenk tube under argon. The resultant mixture was subsequently refluxed for 18 hrs. The brownish black solution was cooled and poured into 500 mL of petroleum ether to afford crude yellow solid. Upon recrystallization from CH2Cl2/petroleum ether (1:3) the desired product was obtained as a light yellow solid. Yield: 96%. M.p. 233.5-237° C. Anal. Calcd. for C22H20O4S2: C, 64.06%; H, 4.89%; S, 15.54%. Found: C, 64.12%; H, 4.90%; S, 15.12%. Mass spectrum: 411.84 (M+). 1H-NMR (CDCl3; □ in ppm.): 3.73 (s, 3H), 4.05 (s, 3H), 7.13 (dd, 2H), 7.19 (s, 2H), 7.41 (dd, 2H), 7.59(dd, 2H,). 13C-NMR (CDCl3; □ in ppm.): 56.7, 61.7, 107.5, 122.5, 124.4, 125.7, 126.6, 126.9, 139.1, 146.5, 152.5.
